《On The Banks Of The Old Pontch》歌词

[00:00:01] On The Banks Of The Old Pontchartrain - Hank Williams

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

[00:00:09] Through valleys o'er mountains and plains

[00:00:15] Both footsore and weary I rested awhile

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

[00:00:36] The fairest young maiden that I ever saw

[00:00:38] Passed by as it started to rain

[00:00:43] We both found a shelter beneath the same tree

[00:00:44] On the banks of the old Pontchartrain

[00:01:12] We hid from the shower an hour or so

[00:01:16] She asked me how long I'd remain

[00:01:22] I told her that I'd spend the rest of my days

[00:01:47] On the banks of the old Pontchartrain

[00:01:56] I just couldn't tell her that I ran away

[00:02:08] From jail on a West Texas plain

[00:02:17] I prayed in my heart I would never be found

[00:02:23] On the banks of the old Pontchartrain

[00:02:25] Then one day a man put his hand on my arm

[00:02:26] And said I must go west again

[00:02:26] I left her alone without saying goodbye

[00:02:28] On the banks of the old Pontchartrain

[00:02:32] Tonight as I sit here alone in my cell

[00:02:34] I know that she's waiting in vain

[00:02:35] I'm hoping and praying someday to return

[00:02:36] On the banks of the old Pontchartrain
