Luyện nghe bài hát Pontchartrain

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

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

I aboard a railroad car
the morning sun
And I rode the rails eventide
'Til I lay me down

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

I said, my bonnie lass
My 'tis no good
And if it weren't for the
I'd sleep here in the

You're here kind stranger
Our house is very
But we turn a stranger out
On the of Pontchartrain

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

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

I her if she'd marry 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 would
'Til he to his Creole lass
On the of Pontchartrain

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

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