I traveled from Texas to old LouisanneThrough valleys, o'er mountains and plainsBoth footsore and weary, I rested a whileOn the banks of the old PontchartrainThe fairest young maiden that I ever sawPassed by as it started to rainWe both found a shelter beneath the same treeOn the banks of the old PontchartrainWe hid from the shower an hour or soShe asked me how long I'd remainI told her that I'd spend the rest of my daysOn the banks of the old PontchartrainI just couldn't tell her that I ran awayFrom jail on a West Texas plainI prayed in my heart I would never be foundOn the banks of the old PontchartrainThen one day, a man put his hand on my armAnd said I must go west againI left her alone without saying goodbyeOn the banks of the old PontchartrainTonight, as I sit here alone in my cellI know that she's waiting in vainI'm hoping and praying someday to returnTo the banks of the old Pontchartrain
