Along come a young girl
She's pretty as a prayerbook
Sweet as an apple on Christmas day
I said good gracious
can this be my luck
If that's my prayerbook Lord,
let us pray
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
Drink a little red wine
Dance to the music of Clifton Chenier
The King of the Bayou
