Lakes Of Pontchartrain - Christy Moore[00:00:02]
It was one fine march morning[00:00:07]
I bid new orleans adieu[00:00:15]
And I took the road to jacksontown[00:00:21]
And my fortune to renew[00:00:28]
I cursed all foreign money[00:00:35]
No credit could I gain[00:00:42]
Til I fell in love with the croi old girl[00:00:49]
By the lakes of pontchartrain[00:00:56]
She took me into her mama's house[00:01:03]
And treated me right well[00:01:10]
The hair upon her shoulders[00:01:16]
In jet-black reign lets fell[00:01:23]
To try and paint her beauty[00:01:30]
I knew it would be in vain[00:01:37]
So handsome was my croi old girl[00:01:44]
By the lakes of pontchartrain[00:01:51]
I asked her if she'd marry me[00:01:58]
She said that nare could be[00:02:05]
For she had got a lover[00:02:11]
And he was far at sea[00:02:19]
She said that she would wait for him[00:02:26]
And true she would remain[00:02:33]
Til he'd return to his croi old girl[00:02:40]
By the lakes of pontchartrain[00:02:47]
Fair thee well my croi old girl[00:02:54]
I'll never will see you more[00:03:00]
I won't forget your kindness[00:03:07]
In the cottage by the shore[00:03:14]
And at each social gathering[00:03:21]
A flowing bowl i'll drain[00:03:28]
And i'll drink a health to my croi old girl[00:03:36]
By the lakes of pontchartrain[00:03:42]
