On The Banks Of The Old Ponchartrain

On The Banks Of The Old Ponchartrain - Don Gibson

Written by：Hank Williams/Ramona Vincent

I traveled

From Texas to old

Louisanne

Through valleys o'er mountains and plains

Footsore and weary I rested

Awhile

On the banks of

The old Pontchartrain

The fairest young maiden

That I ever saw

Passed by

As started to rain

And We both found a shelter

Beneath the same tree

On the banks

Of the old Pontchartrain

On the banks

Of the old Pontchartrain

Tonight

As I sit here alone in my cell

I know

That she's waiting in vain

I'm hoping and praying someday to return

To the banks of

The old Pontchartrain
