The song was first thought of by Paul Simon on a cold rainy night on Widnes railway station near Liverpool England, part way through a tour.
As other comments brilliant lyrics for 2 guys starting out without the trappings of riches roadies and Rolls Royces......If only they knew what was to follow.
At this time in England they also wrote Scarborough Fayre from an old English folk song.. Beautiful and haunting try to listen to it!
