Вступление
(Walz so 3/4 measure)
[Intro]
| E7 | E7 | A | A |
[Verse 1]
A D A E7
I traveled from Texas to old Louisiane, through valleys, o'er mountains and plains
A D A E7 A
Both footsore and weary I rested awhile, on the banks of the old Pontchartrain
[Verse 2]
D A E7
The fairest young maiden that I ever saw, passed by as it started to rain
A D A E7 A
We both found a shelter beneath the same tree, on the banks of the old Pontchartrain
[Interlude]
| A | A | D | A |
| A | A | E7 | E7 |
| A | A | D | A |
| E7 | E7 | A | A |
[Verse 3]
A D A E7
We hid from the shower an hour or so, she asked me how long I'd remain
A D A E7 A
I told her that I'd spend the rest of my days, on the banks of the old Pontchartrain
[Interlude]
| A | A | D | A |
| A | A | E7 | E7 |
| A | A | D | A |
| E7 | E7 | A | A |
[Verse 4]
A D A E7
I just couldn't tell her that I ran away, from jail on a West Texas plain
A D A E7 A
I prayed in my heart I would never be found, on the banks of the old Pontchartrain
[Verse 5]
D A E7
Then one day a man put his hand on my arm and said I must go west again
A D A E7 A
I left her alone without sayin' goodbye, on the banks of the old Pontchartrain
[Outro]
D A E7
Tonight as I sit here alone in my cell, I know that she's waiting in vain
A D A E7 A
I'm hoping and praying someday to return, to the banks of the old Pontchartrain
