<pre><font size='+2'>LAKES OF PONCHARTRAIN lyrics CHRISTY MOORE</font><br>It was one fine March morning, I bid New Orleans Adieu<br />
 And I took the road to Jackson Town, my fortune to renew<br />
 I cursed all foreign money, no credit could I gain<br />
 Which filled my heart with a longing for, the Lakes of Ponchartrain<br />
 <br />
 I stepped on board of a railroad car beneath the morning sun<br />
 I rode the rods till evening and I laid me down again<br />
 All strangers there no friends to me `til a dark girl towards me came<br />
 And I fell in love with the Creole Girl, by the Lakes of Ponchartrain<br />
 <br />
 I said `Me pretty Creole Girl, me money here`s no good,<br />
 If it weren`t for the alligators, I`d sleep out there in the wood`<br />
 `You`re welcome here kind stranger, from such sad thoughts refrain`<br />
 `For me Mammy welcomes strangers, by the Lakes of Ponchartrain`<br />
 <br />
 She took me into her mammy`s house and treated me right well<br />
 The hair upon her shoulders in jet black ringlets fell<br />
 To try and paint here beauty, I`m sure `twould be in vain<br />
 So handsome was my Creole girl by the Lakes of Ponchartrain<br />
 <br />
 I asked her if she`d marry me, she said that ne`er could be<br />
 For she had got a lover and he was far at sea<br />
 She said that she would wait for him and true she would remain<br />
 Till he`d return to his Creole girl, on the Lakes of Ponchartrain<br />
 <br />
 It`s fare thee well, me Creole girl, I`ll never see you more<br />
 I`ll never forget your kindness in the cottage by the shore<br />
 And at each social gathering, a flowing bowl I`ll drain<br />
 And I`ll drink a health to my Creole girl, by the Lakes of Ponchartrain<br />

It was one fine March morning, I bid New Orleans Adieu
And 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 a longing for, the Lakes of Ponchartrain

I stepped on board of a railroad car beneath the morning sun
I rode the rods till evening and I laid me down again
All strangers there no friends to me `til a dark girl towards me came
And I fell in love with the Creole Girl, by the Lakes of Ponchartrain

I said `Me pretty Creole Girl, me money here`s no good,
If it weren`t for the alligators, I`d sleep out there in the wood`
`You`re welcome here kind stranger, from such sad thoughts refrain`
`For me Mammy welcomes strangers, by the Lakes of Ponchartrain`

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 and paint here beauty, I`m sure `twould be in vain
So handsome was my Creole girl by the Lakes of Ponchartrain

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 at sea
She said that she would wait for him and true she would remain
Till he`d return to his Creole girl, on the Lakes of Ponchartrain

It`s fare thee well, me Creole girl, I`ll never see you more
I`ll never forget your kindness in the cottage 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 Ponchartrain
