On the Banks of the Old Ponchartrain |
I traveled from Texas to old Louisanne |
Through valleys, o’er mountains and plains |
Both footsore and weary I rested awhile |
On the banks of the old Pontchartrain |
The fairest young maiden that I ever saw |
Passed by as it started to rain |
We both found a shelter beneath the same tree |
On the banks of the old Pontchartrain |
We hid from the shower an hour or so |
She asked me how long I’d remain |
I told her that I’d spend the rest of my days |
On the banks of the old Pontchartrain |
I just couldn’t tell her that I ran away |
From jail on a West Texas plain |
I prayed in my heart I would never be found |
On the banks of the old Pontchartrain |
Then one day a man put his hand on my arm |
And said I must go west again |
I left her alone without saying goodbye |
On the banks of the old Pontchartrain |
Tonight as I sit here alone in my cell |
I know that she’s waiting in vain |
I’m hoping and praying someday to return |
On the banks of the old Pontchartrain |
