On the Banks of the Old Ponchartrain - Rose Maddox[00:00:00]

I traveled from Texas to old Louisianne through[00:00:11]

Valleys o'er mountains and plains[00:00:18]

Both footsore and weary[00:00:23]

I rested awhile on the banks of the old Ponchartrain[00:00:26]

The fairest young man that[00:00:34]

I ever did see passed by as it started to rain[00:00:37]

We both found a shelter beneath the same tree[00:00:45]

On the banks of the old Ponchartrain[00:00:50]

We hid from the shower an hour or so he asked me[00:00:56]

How long I'd remain[00:01:03]

I told him that I'd spend the rest of my days[00:01:07]

On the banks of the old Ponchartrain[00:01:13]

I just couldn't tell him that[00:01:30]

I ran away from jail on a west Texas plain[00:01:33]

I prayed in my heart[00:01:41]

I would never be found on the banks of the old Ponchartrain[00:01:44]

Then one day a man put his hand on my arm and said[00:01:52]

I must go west again[00:01:59]

I left him alone without saying goodbye[00:02:03]

On the banks of the old Ponchartrain[00:02:09]

Tonight as I sit here alone in my cell[00:02:14]

I know that he's waiting in vain[00:02:20]

I'm hoping and praying someday to return[00:02:25]

To the banks of the old Ponchartrain[00:02:31]
