Verse 1
(D major) (G major) I've traveled from
Texas to (C major) Louisiana
(G major) Through valleys or
mountains and (D major) plains
(G major) Both but sore and weary
I've (C major) rested a (G major) while
On the (D major) banks of the (C major) old Pontchartrain (G major)
The fairest young maiden
that (C major) I ever (G major) saw
Passed by as it started to (D major) rain
We (G major) both found a shelter
beneath (C major) the same tree
(G major) On the (D major) banks of the old Pontchartrain (G major)
I ventured a smile but the (C major) thought I was (G major) home
I hastened to try and explain (D major)
But (G major) somehow I knew
I would (C major) linger a (G major) while
On the (D major) banks of the old Ponson train (G major)
We hid from the shower an (C major) hour or (G major) so,
she asked how long I'd remain. (D major)
Well, (G major) told her that I'd spend
the (C major) rest of my (G major) days
on the (D major) banks of the old Pontchartrain. (G major)
Then one day a man put
his (C major) hand on my (G major) arm
And said, I must go west again (D major)
I (G major) left her alone without
say (C major) ing goodbye
(G major) On the (D major) banks of the old
Pontchartrain (G major)
Tonight, as I sit here alone (C major) in my (G major) cell,
I know that she's waiting for me. (D major)
I'm (G major) hoping and praying
some day (C major) she'll return (G major)
To the (D major) banks of the old Pontchartrain (G major)
On the banks of the old Pontchartrain (G major)
