[00:00.00]时代音乐网 www.78497.com  [00:11.92]I traveled from Texas to old Louisianne through [00:18.15]Valleys o'er mountains and plains [00:23.09]Both footsore and weary [00:26.10]I rested awhile on the banks of the old Ponchartrain [00:34.35]The fairest young man that [00:37.46]I ever did see passed by as it started to rain [00:45.31]We both found a shelter beneath the same tree [00:50.85]On the banks of the old Ponchartrain [00:56.80]We hid from the shower an hour or so he asked me [01:03.57]How long I'd remain [01:07.46]I told him that I'd spend the rest of my days [01:13.15]On the banks of the old Ponchartrain [01:30.05]I just couldn't tell him that [01:33.49]I ran away from jail on a west Texas plain [01:41.26]I prayed in my heart [01:44.07]I would never be found on the banks of the old Ponchartrain [01:52.44]Then one day a man put his hand on my arm and said [01:59.16]I must go west again [02:03.51]I left him alone without saying goodbye [02:09.12]On the banks of the old Ponchartrain [02:14.75]Tonight as I sit here alone in my cell [02:20.59]I know that he's waiting in vain [02:25.75]I'm hoping and praying someday to return [02:31.22]To the banks of the old Ponchartrain
