george jones – on the banks of the ponchertrain lyrics
i’ve traveled from texas to old louisiane
through valleys, over mountains and plains
both foot sore and weary, i rested awhile
on the banks of the old ponchertrain
the fairest young maiden that i ever saw
p-ssed by as it started to rain
we both found a shelter beneath the same tree
on the banks of the old ponchertrain
i ventured a smile but the thought i was home
i hastened to try and explain
but somehow i knew i would linger awhile
on the banks of the old ponchertrain
we hid from the shower an hour or so
she asked me how long i’d remain
well, i told her that i’d spend the rest of my days
on the banks of the old ponchertrain
then one day a man put his hand on my arm
and said i must go west again
i left her alone without saying goodbye
on the banks of the old ponchertrain
tonight as i sit here alone in my cell
i know that she’s waiting for me
i’m hoping and praying someday she’ll return
to the banks of the old ponchertrain
on the banks of the old ponchertrain
