It was one Cfine March Emmorning I bid NAmew GOrleans Fadieu, C G
and I took Cthe road toEm Jackson Amtown, my foGrtune tAmo renew. C F
I cuCrsed all foreEmign mo..neyAm, nGo credit Am couCld I gain, F
till I Cfell inEm love with the CreoleAm girl Gby the lakes ofF Pontchartrain. C G
She took Cme into hEmer Mamma's hoAmuse, and treaGted me right wellF, C G
the hairC upon Emher shoulderAms inG jet blacAmk ringlets Cfell. F
To tryC and paintEm her beauty,Am I kGnew, it Amwould be iCn vain, F
so handCsome was my CreEmole girl byAm the laGkes of PontcharFtrain. C G
I aCsked her if sEmhe'd marryAm me, sheG said that nFe'er could be, C
for sheC had got a EmloveAmr aGnd he was Cfar at sea. F
She said Cthat she wouEmld wait for hiAmm and trueG she would reCmain, F
till heC'd retuEmrn to his CreolAme girl Gon the lakes ofF Pontchartrain. C G
It?s faCre thee well,Em my Creole gAmirl, I Gnever wFill see you more, C G
I woCn?t forget Emyour kindAmness iGn the cottage bAmy the shoCre. F
And at eCach socialEm gatheriAmng, aG flowing bAmowl I'll dCrain, F
and I'll drinkC a healthEm to my Creole girAml by thGe lakes of PontFchartrain. C
