Lyrics for 'On The Banks Of The Old Ponchartrain' by 'Hank Williams'
Recorded By: Hank Williams, Sr.
Written By: Hank Williams Sr. & Ramona Vincent
I (a) Travelled From (a7) Texas To (d) Old Louis-(a) Anne
Thru Valleys, O'er Mountains And (e7) Plains
Both (a) Footsore And (a7) Weary I (d) Rested A-(a) While
On The (e7) Banks Of The Old Ponchar-(a) Train.
The Fairest Young Maiden That I Ever Saw
Passed By As It Started To Rain
We Both Found A Shelter Beneath The Same Tree
On The Banks Of The Old Ponchartrain.
We Hid From The Shower An Hour Or So
She Asked Me How Long I'd Remain
I Told Her That I'd Spend The Rest Of My Days
On The Banks Of The Old Ponchartrain.
I Just Couldn't Tell Her That I Ran Away
From Jail On A West Texas Plain
I Prayed In My Heart I Would Never Be Found
On The Banks Of The Old Ponchartrain.
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 Ponchartrain.
Tonight As I Sit Here Alone In My Cell
I Know That She's Waiting In Vain
I'm Hoping And Praying Someday To Return
To The Banks Of The Old Ponchartrain.
