Luyện nghe bài hát Pontchartrain

O it was one morning
I bid New adieu
And took the road to Town
My fortune to

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

I stowed a railroad car
Beneath the sun
And I the rails 'til eventide
'Til I finally lay me

No stranger befriend me
'Til a dark girl me came
And I fell in love with a girl
On the of Pontchartrain

I said, my Creole lass
My money 'tis no
And if it weren't for the
I'd sleep in the wood

You're here kind stranger
Our house is plain
But we never turn a out
On the of Pontchartrain

She took me her mama's house
And she treated me right
The hair her shoulders
In jet black fell

To try to paint her
That would surely be in
So handsome was my Creole
On the of Pontchartrain

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

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

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

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