《On the Banks of the Old Pontchartrain》歌词

[00:00:00] On The Banks Of The Old Pontchartrain - Hank Williams (小汉克威廉斯)

[00:00:05] I traveled from Texas to old Louisanne

[00:00:10] Through valleys or mountains and plains

[00:00:15] Both footsore and weary I rested a while

[00:00:20] On the banks of the old Pontchartrain

[00:00:25] The fairest young maiden that I ever saw

[00:00:30] Passed by as it started to rain

[00:00:34] We both found a shelter beneath the same tree

[00:00:40] On the banks of the old Pontchartrain

[00:01:05] We hid from the shower an hour or so

[00:01:10] She asked me how long I'd remain

[00:01:15] I told her that I'd spend the rest of my days

[00:01:20] On the banks of the old Pontchartrain

[00:01:45] I just couldn't tell her that I ran away

[00:01:50] From jail on a West Texas plain

[00:01:55] I prayed in my heart I would never be found

[00:02:01] On the banks of the old Pontchartrain

[00:02:06] Then one day a man put his hand on my arm

[00:02:11] And said I must go west again

[00:02:16] I left her alone without saying goodbye

[00:02:21] On the banks of the old Pontchartrain

[00:02:27] Tonight as I sit here alone in my cell

[00:02:32] I know that she's waiting in vain

[00:02:37] I'm hoping and praying someday to return

[00:02:42] To the banks of the old Pontchartrain
