'You're welcome here kind stranger Our house is very plain But we never turn a stranger out On the Lakes of Pontchartrain.' She took me into her mama's house And she treated me right well The hair upon her shoulders In jet black ringlets fell To try to paint her beauty 'Twould surely be in vain So handsome was my Creole lass On the Lakes of Pontchartrain I asked her if she'd marry me, She said that ne'er could be For she had a lover Who was far away at sea She said that she would wait for him And true she would remain 'Til he returned to his Creole lass On the Lakes of Pontchartrain So fare thee well, my Creole lass, I'll ne'er see you no more And I'll ne'er forget your kindness In the cottage by the shore And at each social gathering A flowing bowl I'll drain I'll raise a glass to my Creole lass On the Lakes of Pontchartrain I'll raise a glass to my bonnie lass On the Lakes of Pontchartrain Related Lyrics Random lyrics: Streets of Laredo, Sweet Incarnadine, Swing Low, Sweet Chariot, Symmetry (The Way Things Have To Be), Temple, The Bird In The Gravel, The Empty City, The Gospel According To Darkness, The Life In The Red Wagon, The Life Is The Red Wagon, The Lobby, The Long Pirouette, The Magic Beads, The Mystery At Ogwens Farm, The Mystery at Ogwens Farm, The Sky Is So Blue, The Squirrel Crossed the Road, The Strange Well, The Taxi Ride, The Valley, The Very Large Hat, The Vigil The Sea, The Waitress, The Walking, The Walking (And Constantly), The WalkingAnd Constantly, The Water Is Wide, The White Tent The Raft, This Girl I Know, Trumpeter Swan, Up The Loggin Road, Valley Of The Dolls, Viking Heart, Vladimir Vladimir, We Should Be There by Morning, What Child Is This?, What Is This Lovely Fragrance Stealing, When Last I Was A Fisherman, When Spring Comes, Wildwood Carol, Would You Go, Writers Are A Funny Breed, You Dont Need, You Say I Say, You Will Be Born, 1, Aint No Right, Been Caught Stealing, Chip Away, City, Other Jane Siberry song Lyrics Above The Treeline Lyrics Adam And Eve Lyrics All The Candles In The World Lyrics All Through The Night Lyrics An Angel Stepped Down (And Slowly Looked Around) Lyrics Angel Voyeur Lyrics Are We Dancing Now?
