| T’was on one bright March morning I bid New Orleans adieu |
| And I took the rode to Jackson town, me fortune to renew |
| I cursed all foreign money, no credit could I gain |
| Which filled me heart with longin' for the Lakes of Pontchartain |
| I stepped on board of a railroad car beneath the morning sun |
| And I rode the roads 'til evening and I laid me down again |
| All strangers here, no friends to me 'til a dark girl towards me came |
| And I fell in love with a Creole girl from the Lakes of Pontchartrain |
| I said my pretty Creole girl, me money here’s no good |
| If it weren’t for the alligators I’d sleep out in the wood |
| You’re welcome here kind stranger, our house it’s very plain |
| But we never turn a stranger out at the Lakes of Pontchartrain |
| She took me to her mummy’s house and she treated me quite well |
| The hair upon her shoulders in jet black ringlets fell |
| To try and paint her beauty I’m sure t’would be in vain |
| So handsome was my Creole girl from the Lakes of Pontchartrain |
| I asked her if she’d marry me, she’d said it could never be |
| For she had got another and he was far at sea |
| She said that she would wait for him and true she would remain |
| 'Til he returned for his Creole girl from the Lakes of Pontchartrain |
| So fair thee well me bonny o' girl I never see no more |
| But I’ll ne’er forget your kindness and the cottage by the shore |
| And at each social gathering a flowin' glass I’ll raise |
| And drink a health to me Creole girl from the Lakes of Pontchartrain |
