1
I've traveled from Texas to old Louisiane
2
Through valleys, over mountains and plains
3
Both foot sore and weary, I rested awhile
4
On the banks of the old Ponchertrain
5
The fairest young maiden that I ever saw
6
Passed by as it started to rain
7
We both found a shelter beneath the same tree
8
On the banks of the old Ponchertrain
9
I ventured a smile but the thought I was home
10
I hastened to try and explain
11
But somehow I knew I would linger awhile
12
On the banks of the old Ponchertrain
13
We hid from the shower an hour or so
14
She asked me how long I'd remain
15
Well, I told her that I'd spend the rest of my days
16
On the banks of the old Ponchertrain
17
Then one day a man put his hand on my arm
18
And said I must go west again
19
I left her alone without saying goodbye
20
On the banks of the old Ponchertrain
21
Tonight as I sit here alone in my cell
22
I know that she's waiting for me
23
I'm hoping and praying someday she'll return
24
To the banks of the old Ponchertrain
25
On the banks of the old Ponchertrain
