Lakes of Ponchartrain Lyrics – Shilelagh Law
Singer: Shilelagh Law
Title: Lakes of Ponchartrain
It was one fine March morning I bid N’Orleans adieu
I took the road to Jackson-town, my fortune to renew
I cursed all foreign money for no credit could I gain
Which filled my heart with longin’ for the lakes of Pontchartrain
I stepped on board a railroad car beneath the mornin’ sun
I rode the rails ’til evening, then I laid me down again
All strangers were no friends to me ’til a dark girl toward me came
And I fell in love with a Creole girl on the lakes of Pontchartrain
I said, “Me pretty Crеole girl, my money herе’s no good
If it were not for the alligators, I’d sleep out in the wood,”
“You’re welcome here, kind stranger, though our house is very plain
We never turn a stranger out at the lakes of Pontchartrain,”
She took me to her momma’s house and treated me right well
The hair upon her shoulders, in jet-black ringlets it fell
To try and paint her beauty, ah, for sure would be in vain
So handsome was the Creole girl on the lakes of Pontchartrain
I asked her would she marry me, she’d said that ne’er would be
For she had got a lover and he was far out at sea
She said that she would wait for him and true she would remain
‘Til he returned to his Creole girl on the lakes of Pontchartrain
So fare-you-well, my bonny ol’ girl, I’ll ne’er see you no more
I’ll ne’er forget the kindness in that cottage by the shore
At every social gathering, a golden glass I’ll drain
Oh, I’ll drink all health to that Creole girl from the lakes of Pontchartrain
Yeah, I’ll drink all health to that Creole girl from the lakes of Pontchartrain
Yeah
Yeah
Yeah

Lakes of Ponchartrain – Terjemahan / Translation
Itu adalah satu pagi Maret yang baik -baik saja, saya menawar n’orleans adieu
Saya mengambil jalan ke Jackson-Town, kekayaan saya untuk memperbarui
Saya mengutuk semua uang asing tanpa kredit yang bisa saya peroleh
Yang memenuhi hatiku dengan longin ‘untuk danau Pontchartrain
Saya menginjak mobil kereta api di bawah matahari pagi
Aku mengendarai pagar sampai malam, lalu aku meletakkanku lagi
Semua orang asing tidak ada teman bagiku sampai seorang gadis gelap ke arahku datang
Dan saya jatuh cinta dengan seorang gadis kreol di danau Pontchartrain
Saya berkata, “Gadis cruole yang cantik, uang saya tidak baik
Jika bukan karena buaya, saya akan tidur di kayu, ”
“Sama -sama di sini, orang asing yang baik hati, meskipun rumah kami sangat polos
Kami tidak pernah menjadi orang asing di Danau Pontchartrain, ”
Dia membawaku ke rumah ibunya dan memperlakukanku dengan baik
Rambut di pundaknya, dalam ringlet-black-black itu jatuh
Untuk mencoba dan melukis kecantikannya, ah, pasti akan sia -sia
Begitu tampan adalah gadis Creole di danau Pontchartrain
Saya bertanya apakah dia akan menikah dengan saya, dia mengatakan bahwa tidak akan ada
Karena dia punya kekasih dan dia jauh di laut
Dia mengatakan bahwa dia akan menunggunya dan benar dia akan tetap tinggal
Sampai dia kembali ke gadis Creole -nya di danau Pontchartrain
Jadi tarif-you-well, gadis Bonny ol ‘saya, saya tidak akan melihatmu lagi
Saya tidak akan pernah melupakan kebaikan di pondok itu di tepi pantai
Di setiap pertemuan sosial, gelas emas saya akan menguras
Oh, saya akan minum semua kesehatan untuk gadis Creole itu dari danau Pontchartrain
Ya, saya akan minum semua kesehatan untuk gadis Creole itu dari danau Pontchartrain
Ya
Ya
Ya
