歌曲名 Lakes of Pontchartrain

歌手名 Christy Moore

作曲：Arr.C.Moore/Arr: Moore

It was one fine march morning

I bid new orleans adieu

And I took the road to jacksontown

And my fortune to renew

I cursed all foreign money

No credit could I gain

Til I fell in love with the croi old girl

By the lakes of pontchartrain

She took me into her mama's house

And treated me right well

The hair upon her shoulders

In jet-black reign lets fell

To try and paint her beauty

I knew it would be in vain

So handsome was my croi old girl

By the lakes of pontchartrain

I asked her if she'd marry me

She said that nare could be

For she had got a lover

And he was far at sea

She said that she would wait for him

And true she would remain

Til he'd return to his croi old girl

By the lakes of pontchartrain

Fair thee well my croi old girl

I'll never will see you more

I won't forget your kindness

In the cottage by the shore

And at each social gathering

A flowing bowl i'll drain

And i'll drink a health to my croi old girl

By the lakes of pontchartrain
