A
   
I travelled from Texas to old Louisanne 
                                    
E7
  
Through valleys over mountains and plains 
      
A
              
A7
        
D
      
A
     
Both footsore and weary I rested awhile 
        
E7
                         
A
               
On the banks of the old Pontchartrain

A
    
The fairest young maiden that I ever saw 
                            
E7
  
Passed by as it started to rain 
    
A
              
A7
          
D
            
A
  
We both found a shelter beneath the same tree 
        
E7
                         
A
  
On the banks of the old Pontchartrain

A7
          
D
    
A
  
We hid from the shower an hour or so 
                            
E7
   
She asked me how long I'd remain 
   
A
               
A7
              
D
       
A
      
I told her that I'd spend the rest of my days 
        
E7
                         
A
  
On the banks of the old Pontchartrain 
 
 
A
                 
A7
              
D
    
A
  
I just couldn't tell her that I ran away 
                               
E7
  
From a jail on the West Texas plain 
   
A
              
A7
              
D
       
A
     
I prayed in my heart I would never be found 
        
E7
                         
A
   
On the banks of the old Pontchartrain

A7
            
D
       
A
               
Then one day a man put his hand on my arm 
                                  
E7
   
And said I must go west the same day 
   
A
                
A7
        
D
        
A
    
I left her alone without saying goodbye 
        
E7
                         
A
  
On the banks of the old Pontchartrain

A7
      
D
        
A
            
Tonight as I sit here alone in my cell 
                              
E7
  
I know that she's waiting in vain 
     
A
            
A7
            
D
      
A
    
I'm hoping and praying someday to return
