Loading...

[verse 1]
it was one fine march morning i bid n’orleans adieu
i took the road to jackson~town, my fortune to renew
i cursed all foreign money for no credit could i gain
which filled my heart with longin’ for the lakes of pontchartrain

[verse 2]
i stepped on board a railroad car beneath the mornin’ sun
i rode the rails ’til evening, then i laid me down again
all strangers were no friends to me ’til a dark girl toward me came
and i fell in love with a creole girl on the lakes of pontchartrain

[verse 3]
i said, “me pretty crеole girl, my money herе’s no good
if it were not for the alligators, i’d sleep out in the wood,”
“you’re welcome here, kind stranger, though our house is very plain
we never turn a stranger out at the lakes of pontchartrain,”

[verse 4]
she took me to her momma’s house and treated me right well
the hair upon her shoulders, in jet~black ringlets it fell
to try and paint her beauty, ah, for sure would be in vain
so handsome was the creole girl on the lakes of pontchartrain

[verse 5]
i asked her would she marry me, she’d said that ne’er would be
for she had got a lover and he was far out at sea
she said that she would wait for him and true she would remain
’til he returned to his creole girl on the lakes of pontchartrain
[verse 6]
so fare~you~well, my bonny ol’ girl, i’ll ne’er see you no more
i’ll ne’er forget the kindness in that cottage by the shore
at every social gathering, a golden glass i’ll drain
oh, i’ll drink all health to that creole girl from the lakes of pontchartrain
yeah, i’ll drink all health to that creole girl from the lakes of pontchartrain
yeah
yeah
yeah
