on the banks of the old ponchartrain - rose maddox lyrics

i traveled from texas to old louisianne through valleys o’er mountains and plains
both footsore and weary i rested awhile on the banks of the old ponchartrain
the fairest young man that i ever did see p-ssed by as it started to rain
we both found a shelter beneath the same tree on the banks of the old ponchartrain
we hid from the shower an hour or so he asked me how long i’d remain
i told him that i’d spend the rest of my days on the banks of the old ponchartrain
[ guitar ]
i just couldn’t tell him that i ran away from jail on a west texas plain
i prayed in my heart i would never be found on the banks of the old ponchartrain
then one day a man put his hand on my arm and said i must go west again
i left him alone without saying goodbye on the banks of the old ponchartrain
tonight as i sit here alone in my cell i know that he’s waiting in vain
i’m hoping and praying someday to return on the banks of the old ponchartrain
