Luyện nghe bài hát Pontchartrain

O it was one morning
I bid New adieu
And the road to Jackson Town
My to renew

I cursed all foreign
No credit I gain
Which had my heart
For the lakes of

I stowed aboard a car
Beneath the sun
And I the rails 'til eventide
I finally lay me down

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

I said, my bonnie Creole
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 a stranger out
On the Lakes of

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

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

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

She said she would wait for him
And true she would
'Til he to his Creole lass
On the lakes of

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

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