Текст песни The Lakes of Pontcharttrain - Christy Moore
It
was
one
fine
March
morning,
I
bid
New
Orleans
adieu
And
I
took
the
road
to
Jackson
town,
me
fortune
to
renew
I
cursed
all
foreign
money,
and
no
credit
could
I
gain
Which
filled
me
heart
with
longing
for
the
Lakes
of
Pontchartrain
I
stepped
on
board
of
a
railroad
car,
beneath
the
morning
sun
And
I
rode
the
rods
till
evening,
when
I
lay
down
again
All
strangers
there
no
friends
to
me,
till
a
dark
girl
towards
me
came
And
I
fell
in
love
with
a
Creole
girl
by
the
lakes
of
Pontchartrain
I
said,
"My
pretty
Creole
girl,
my
money
here
is
no
good
If
it
weren't
for
the
alligators,
I'd
sleep
out
in
the
wood"
She
said,
"You're
welcome,
stranger.
From
such
mad
thoughts
refrain
For
me
Mammy
welcomes
strangers
by
the
shores
of
Pontchartrain"
She
took
me
into
her
Mammy's
house,
and
treated
me
right
well
The
hair
upon
her
shoulders
in
jet
black
ringlets
fell
To
try
to
paint
her
beauty,
I
knew
it
would
be
in
vain
So
handsome
was
my
Creole
girl
by
the
lakes
of
Pontchartrain
I
asked
her
if
she'd
marry
me.
She
said
that
ne'er
could
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
Till
he'd
return
to
his
Creole
girl
by
the
lakes
of
Pontchartrain
It's
fare
thee
well,
my
Creole
girl,
I
never
will
see
you
more
But
I
won't
forget
your
kindness,
in
the
cottage
down
by
the
shore
And
at
each
social
gathering,
a
flowing
bowl
I'll
drain
And
I'll
drink
a
health
to
my
Creole
girl
by
the
lakes
of
Pontchartrain
