moore christy - Lakes Of Ponchartrain слова песни
It was one fine March morning, I bid New Orleans AdieuAnd I took the road to Jackson Town, my fortune to renewI cursed all foreign money, no credit could I gainWhich filled my heart with a longing for, the Lakes of PonchartrainI stepped on board of a railroad car beneath the morning sunI rode the rods till evening and I laid me down againAll strangers there no friends to me `til a dark girl towards me cameAnd I fell in love with the Creole Girl, by the Lakes of PonchartrainI 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 wellThe hair upon her shoulders in jet black ringlets fellTo try and paint here beauty, I`m sure `twould be in vainSo handsome was my Creole girl by the Lakes of PonchartrainI asked her if she`d marry me, she said that ne`er could beFor she had got a lover and he was far at seaShe said that she would wait for him and true she would remainTill he`d return to his Creole girl, on the Lakes of PonchartrainIt`s fare thee well, me Creole girl, I`ll never see you moreI`ll never forget your kindness in the cottage by the shoreAnd at each social gathering, a flowing bowl I`ll drainAnd I`ll drink a health to my Creole girl, by the Lakes of PonchartrainChords - best if guitar tuned to D Modal............Strings tuned - E to D / B to A / G to G / D to D / A to A / E to DKey of DChords : D, D(C#),D(B),D (A), G, A, DD, D(C#).D(B).
