Banks of the Pontchartrain Nanci Griffith
***CAP0 3***
I'm going [F]back where my [Bb]garden blooms all [F]year
Where the [Am]winter time speaks [Gm]softly in the fall[F]ing rain
I'm going back to my g[Bb]reen-eyed lover t[F]here
We will [Am]dance along the [Bb]banks of old Lake [F]Ponchartrain
***Chorus:**
[C]Take me to the station
I am [Bb]late to catch my south-bound [F]train
Oh I'm gonna [C]call my cousin Libby
She will be [Bb]waitin' by the tracks when I roll [F]in
(And) I'm gonna [Am]roll across America
Just to [Bb]stand beside my Ponchartrain ag[F]ain
**********
Oh' I've [F]grown pale [Bb]beneath the streets [F]of Montreal
Where the [Am]voices ring like [Gm]bells in French-[F]Canadian
And the rivers stand [Bb]imprisoned till [F]the thaws
I am [Am]alone at night and [Bb]dream of my own [F]Pontchartrain
These old [F]rails shake [Bb]like thunder through [F]the night
Soon I'll [Am]have my green-eyed [Gm]lover's arms to [F]comfort me
Oh, I can see my [Bb]cousin Libby by his [F]side
Her hair [Am]will flow in [Bb]waves like on Lake [F]Pontchartrain
I'm going [F]back where my [Bb]garden blooms all [F]year
Where the [Am]wintertime speaks [Gm]softly in the [F]fallin' rain
I'm goin' back to my [Bb]green-eyed lover [F]there
And we [Am]will dance along [Bb]the banks of old [F]Lake Pontchartrain
Yes we [Am]will dance along [Bb]the banks of old [F]Lake Pontchartrain
We will [Am]dance along the [Bb]banks of old Lake [F]Pontchartrain
[F]And here comes the train
