Lyrics:
Well, I'm standing on the corner of Lafayette
State of Louisiana
Wondering where a city boy could go
To get a little conversation
Drink a little red wine
Catch a little bit of those Cajun girls
Dancing to Zydeco

Just fantastic - all I have to say.

I saw him with his african musicians in 2008 in Stuttgart on the Jazz festival. For me it was one of the best concerts I heard. Craceland is the socalled century cd. He wss the first who connected the african music with the western music.

I just want to say thank you Lafayette, Louisiana for inspiring this song. Et Troir!

[@nancywarren7331]

There is always something special about Paul’s voice that makes you captivate 💕

[@gerrycoogan6544]

Mark Stewart is an absolutely phenomenal musician. Apart from his brilliant guitar playing, he is a supremely competent saxophonist, plays the cello excellently (amongst other instruments) and on top of all that, he is an excellent singer.

[@atworkstation]

Sounds like music from my home state of Louisiana

[@chrisarseneault5617]

I've seen him three times in concert. Once in a large Stadium after Graceland came out. Then in a 300-seat intimate seating then you. And then on his farewell tour in Chicago.

LYRICS
A long time ago, yeah, before you was born, dude
When I was still single and life was great
I held this job as a traveling salesman
That kept me moving from state to state
[Chorus 1]
Well, I'm standing on the corner of Lafayette
State of Louisiana
Wondering where a city boy could go
To get a little conversation
Drink a little red wine
Catch a little bit of those Cajun girls
Dancing to Zydeco
[Verse 2]
Along come a young girl, she's pretty as a prayer book
Sweet as an apple on Christmas day
I said, "Good gracious can this be my luck
If that's my prayer book, Lord let us pray"
[Chorus 2]
Well, I'm standing on the corner of Lafayette
State of Louisiana
Wondering what a city boy could do
To get her in a conversation
Maybe drink a little red wine
Dance to the music of Clifton Chenier
The King of the Bayou
[Verse 3]
Well, that was your mother and that was your father
Before you was born, dude, when life was great
You are the burden of my generation
I sure do love you, well let's get that straight
[Chorus 3]
Well, I'm standing on the corner of Lafayette
Across the street from The Public
Heading down to the Lone Star Cafe
Maybe get a little conversation
Drink a little red wine
Standing in the shadow of Clifton Chenier
Dancing the night away

[@davidevans8859]

Remember skiffle groups using scrub boards in the 50’s london

[@b.p.879]

Ah yes, take a beautiful Ludwig drum kit and cover it up with rags, that'll sound GREAT. lol

[@ellepennell3706]

Don't ever quit playing the guitar Paul. Let Artie sing. 🤭

[@ziweiyuan]

Great song, but "you are the burden of my generation" is the most boomer thing I have ever heard.
