"BANKS OF THE PONCHARTRAIN" by Nanci Griffith
[Intro]
F
[Verse 1]
F Bb F Well, I'm going back where my garden blooms all year Am Gm F Where the wintertime speaks softly in the falling rain F Bb F And I'm going back to my green-eyed lover there Am Bb F We will dance along the banks of old Lake Ponchartrain
[Verse 2]
Oh, I've grown pale beneath the streets of Montreal
Where the voices ring like bells in French-Canadian
And the rivers stand imprisoned till the thaws
I am alone at night and dream of my own Pontchartrain
[Chorus]
C7 Take me to the station Bb F I am late to catch my south-bound train C7 And I'm gonna call my cousin Libby Bb F She will be waitin' by the tracks when I roll in Am Oh, I'm gonna roll across America Bb F Just to stand beside my Ponchartrain again
[Verse 3]
These old rails shake like thunder through the night
Soon I'll have my green-eyed lover's arms to comfort me
Oh, I can see my cousin Libby by his side
Oh, her hair will flow in waves like on Lake Pontchartrain
[Chorus]
C7 Take me to the station Bb F I am late to catch my south-bound train C7 And I'm gonna call my cousin Libby Bb F She will be waitin' by the tracks when I roll in Am Oh, I'm gonna roll across America Bb F Just to stand beside my Ponchartrain again
[Verse 4]
'Cause I'm going back where my garden blooms all year
Where the wintertime speaks softly in the fallin' rain
And I'm goin' back to my green-eyed lover there
We will dance along the banks of old Lake Pontchartrain
We will dance along the banks of old Lake Pontchartrain
Yes, we will dance along the banks of old Lake Pontchartrain
And here comes the train ...
