Luyện nghe bài hát Pontchartrain

O it was one fine
I bid New adieu
And took the to Jackson Town
My fortune to

I cursed all money
No credit could I
Which had my a-longing
For the lakes of

I stowed a railroad car
the morning sun
And I rode the rails eventide
I finally lay me down

No stranger would me
a dark girl toward me came
And I fell in love with a Creole
On the of Pontchartrain

I said, my Creole lass
My money no good
And if it for the alligators
I'd sleep here in the

welcome here kind stranger
Our house is very
But we never a stranger out
On the Lakes of

She took me into her mama's
And she treated me well
The hair upon her
In jet black ringlets

To try to her beauty
That would be in vain
So handsome was my Creole
On the lakes of

I asked her if marry me
She said that ne'er be
For she had a
Who was far at sea

She said that she would for him
And true she remain
'Til he to his Creole lass
On the of Pontchartrain

So fare well, my Creole lass
I'll see you no more
And I'll forget your kindness
In the cottage by the

And at each gathering
A bowl I'll drain
I'll raise a glass to my lass
On the lakes of
I'll raise a glass to my lass
On the of Pontchartrain
