On The Banks Of The Old Pontchartrain (Single Version) - Hank Williams[00:00:01]

I traveled from Texas to old Louisanne[00:00:05]

Through valleys oer mountains and plains[00:00:10]

Both footsore and weary I rested awhile[00:00:15]

On the banks of the old Pontchartrain[00:00:20]

The fairest young maiden that I ever saw[00:00:25]

Passed by as it started to rain[00:00:30]

We both found a shelter beneath the same tree[00:00:35]

On the banks of the old Pontchartrain[00:00:40]

We hid from the shower an hour or so[00:01:05]

She asked me how long I'd remain[00:01:10]

I told her that I'd spend the rest of my days[00:01:15]

On the banks of the old Pontchartrain[00:01:20]

I just couldn't tell her that I ran away[00:01:45]

From jail on a West Texas plain[00:01:50]

I prayed in my heart I would never be found[00:01:56]

On the banks of the old Pontchartrain[00:02:01]

Then one day a man put his hand on my arm[00:02:06]

And said I must go west again[00:02:11]

I left her alone without saying goodbye[00:02:16]

On the banks of the old Pontchartrain[00:02:22]

Tonight as I sit here alone in my cell[00:02:27]

I know that she's waiting in vain[00:02:32]

I'm hoping and praying someday to return[00:02:37]

On the banks of the old Pontchartrain[00:02:42]
