[Dm] A long time [F] ago, yeah, before you was born, dude, [C] when I was still single and life was
great, [F] I held this job as a charity salesman, [C] kept me moving from [F] state to state.
[D] Well, standing on the corner of Napa, the state of Louisiana, [C] wondering [E] where this city
[F] boy would go [C] to get a little conversation, drink a little red wine, check out the Cajun
girl, [F] she's dancing the zydeco.

[F] [C]
Long call me young girl, she's pretty as a prayer book, she's sweet as an apple on [F] Christmas Day.
[D] I said, [F] good gracious, [D] would this be my [F] luck, if that's [C] my prayer book, Lord, let us pray.
Well, [F] I'm standing on the corner of Napa, the state of [C] Louisiana, wondering what a city
boy [F] could do to get a little conversation, drink a little red [C] wine, dance to the [Em] music
of Clinton, [F] Senor, the king of the bayou.

[F] That was your mother, that was your father, [C] before you was born, dude, when life was great,
you are the pride of my generation, sure [C] do love you, but let's keep [F] our eyes straight.
[Dm] Well, I'm standing on the corner of Napa, across the [C] street from the club, heading [D] down
[C] to the Lone [F] Star Cafe, you'll get a little [B] conversation, [F] drink a little red wine, [C] dance
to the music [F] of Clinton, Senor.
