On the Banks of the Old Pontchertrain - Sharon Shannon/Carlos Núñez (卡洛斯·努涅兹)/Hothouse Flowers[00:00:00]

I've travelled from texas[00:00:21]

To old loussianne[00:00:24]

Through mountains and valleys and plains[00:00:27]

Footsore and weary[00:00:32]

I rested a while[00:00:34]

On the banks of old pontchartrain[00:00:37]

The fairest young maiden[00:00:43]

That I ever saw passed by as it started to rain[00:00:45]

We both found a shelter[00:00:53]

Beneath the same tree[00:00:56]

On the banks of old pontchartrain[00:00:58]

I ventured a smile but she thought I was bold[00:01:04]

I hastened to try and explain[00:01:09]

Some how I knew I would linger a while[00:01:14]

On the banks of the old pontchartrain[00:01:19]

We hid from the shower and hour or so[00:01:46]

She asked me how long I'd remain[00:01:51]

I told her I spend the rest of my days[00:01:57]

On the banks of the old pontchartrain[00:02:02]

As time drifted by we fell deeper in love[00:02:07]

A love that would just bring her pain[00:02:12]

I knew that one day I would leave her alone[00:02:17]

On the banks of the old pontchartrain[00:02:23]

I just couldn't tell her that I run away[00:02:28]

From a jail on the west texas plain[00:02:33]

I prayed in my heart I would never be found[00:02:38]

To the banks of the old pontchartrain[00:02:44]

Then one day a man put a hand on my arm[00:03:37]

Said I must go west the same day[00:03:42]

I said I couldn't without saying goodbye[00:03:48]

On the banks of the old pontchartrain[00:03:53]

Tonight I sit here alone in my cell[00:03:58]

I know that she is waiting in vain[00:04:04]

And hoping and praying someday to return[00:04:09]

To banks of the old pontchartrain[00:04:14]
