Lakes of Ponchartrain (Live at Today FM)
It was on one bright March morning, I bid New Orleans Adieu I took the road to Jackson Town, my fortune to renew I cursed all foreign money, no credit could I gain Which filled my heart with longing for the Lakes of Ponchartrain
Well I stepped on board of a railroad car underneath the morning sun And I rode the roads all evening and lay me down again All strangers there no friends to me 'til a dark girl toward me came And I fell in love with the Creole Girl, by the Lakes of Ponchartrain
Well I said 'Me pretty Creole Girl, my money here's no good, And if it weren't for all the alligators, I'd sleep out in the wood' She said 'You're welcome here kind stranger, Though my house is very plain, 'But we've never turned a stranger out, on the banks of Ponchartrain'

Well I asked her if she'd marry me, she said this could never be For she had got a lover and he was lost at sea She said that she would wait for him and true that she would remain Till he'd return to his Creole girl, by the Lakes of Ponchartrain
So fare thee well, my Creole girl, may I never see you more But I'll never forget your kindness, your cottage by the shore And at each social gathering, a flowing glass I'll drain And I'll drink a health to my Creole girl, by the Lakes of Ponchartrain
