It was one fine march morninI bid New Orleans 'Adu'I took the road to jackson townMy fortune to renewI cursed all foreign moneyFor no credit could I gainIt's filled my heart with longing For the lakes of ponchratrainI stepped on board a railroad carBeneath the mornin sunI road the rails till evening then I lay me down againAll strangers were no friends to meTill a dark girl toward me cameAnd i fell in love with a creole girlOn the lakes of ponchratrainI said me pretty creole girlMy money here's no goodIf it were not for the alligatorsI'd sleep out in the woodsYou're welcome here kind strangerThough our house is very plainWe never turn a stranger out On the Lakes of PonchratrainLetras de cancionesShe took me to her momma's houseAnd treated me right wellThe hair upon her shouldersIt jet black, rain bliss it fellTo try to paint her beauty off herSure would be in vainSo handsome was the creole girlOn the Lakes of PonchratrainI asked her would she marry meShe said that there would beFor she had got a loverAnd he was far out at seaShe said that she would wait for himAnd true she would remainTill he returned to his creole girlOn the Lakes of PonchratrainOh, fair you well my bonnie ol girlI'll never see you no moreI'll never get that kindness in the cottageBy the shoreAt every social gathering, a golden glass i'll drainOh I'll drink all hell to that creole girlOn the Lakes of PonchratrainOh I'll drink all hell to that creole girlOn the Lakes of Ponchratrain From Letras Mania
