Pontchartrain
作詞:Pd, Jane Siberry
O it was one fine morning I bid New Orleans adieu And took the road to Jackson Town My fortune to renew
I cursed all foreign money No credit could I gain Which had my heart a-longing For the lakes of Pontchartrain
I stowed aboard a railroad car Beneath the morning sun And I rode the rails 'til eventide 'Til I finally lay me down
No stranger would befriend me 'Til a dark girl toward me came And I fell in love with a Creole girl On the Lakes of Pontchartrain
I said, my bonnie Creole lass My money 'tis no good And if it weren't for the alligators I'd sleep here in the wood
You're welcome here kind stranger Our house is very plain But we never turn a stranger out On the Lakes of Pontchartrain
She took me into her mama's house もっと沢山の歌詞は ※ Mojim.com And she treated me right well The hair upon her shoulders In jet black ringlets fell
To try to paint her beauty That would surely be in vain So handsome was my Creole lass On the lakes of Pontchartrain
I asked her if she'd marry me She said that ne'er could be For she had a lover Who was far away at sea
She said that she would wait for him And true she would remain 'Til he returned to his Creole lass On the lakes of Pontchartrain
So fare thee well, my Creole lass I'll ne'er see you no more And I'll ne'er forget your kindness In the cottage by the shore
And at each social gathering A flowing bowl I'll drain I'll raise a glass to my Creole lass On the lakes of Pontchartrain I'll raise a glass to my bonnie lass On the lakes of Pontchartrain
