《On The Banks Of The Old Ponchartrain》歌词

[00:02:57] I traveled from Texas to old Louisanne

[00:02:57] Through valleys, o'er mountains and plains

[00:02:57] Both footsore and weary I rested awhile

[00:02:57] On the banks of the old Pontchartrain.

[00:02:57] The fairest young maiden that I ever saw

[00:02:57] Passed by as it started to rain

[00:02:57] We both found a shelter beneath the same tree

[00:02:57] On the banks of the old Pontchartrain.

[00:02:57] We hid from the shower an hour or so

[00:02:57] She asked me how long I'd remain

[00:02:57] I told her that I'd spend the rest of my days

[00:02:57] On the banks of the old Pontchartrain.

[00:02:57] I just couldn't tell her that I ran away

[00:02:57] From jail on a West Texas plain

[00:02:57] I prayed in my heart I would never be found

[00:02:57] On the banks of the old Pontchartrain.

[00:02:57] Then one day a man put his hand on my arm

[00:02:57] And said I must go west again

[00:02:57] I left her alone without saying goodbye

[00:02:57] On the banks of the old Pontchartrain.

[00:02:57] Tonight as I sit here alone in my cell

[00:02:57] I know that she's waiting in vain

[00:02:57] I'm hoping and praying someday to return

[00:02:57] On the banks of the old Pontchartrain
