[Verse 1]
F A long time ago, yeah before you was born, dude C F When I was still single and life was great F I held this job as a traveling salesman C F That kept me moving from state to state
[Chorus]
F Well, I'm standing on the corner of Lafayette, State of Louisiana C F Wondering where a city boy could go F To get a little conversation, drink a little red wine C F Catch a little bit of those Cajun girls dancing to Zydeco

F Along come a young girl, she's pretty as a prayerbook C F Sweet as an apple on Christmas Day F I said, good gracious, can this be my luck C F If that's my prayerbook, Lord, let us pray
[Chorus]
F Well, I'm standing on the corner of Lafayette, State of Louisiana C F Wondering where a city boy could go F To get a little conversation, drink a little red wine C F Dance to the music of Clifton Chenier, the King of the Bayou

F Well, that was your mother, and that was your father C F Before you was born dude, when life was great F You are the burden of my generation C F I sure do love you, let's get that straight
[Chorus]
F Well, I'm standing on the corner of Lafayette, across the street from The Public C F Heading down to the Lone Star Cafe F Maybe get a little conversation, drink a little red wine C F Standing in the shadow of Clifton Chenier dancing the night away
