Song | Dorraine Of Ponchartrain |

作词 : Cash | |
As I walked by the lake one day by chance my Dorraine passed my way | |
Then she and I walked hand in hand on the banks of Ponchartrain | |
I pinned a flower on her heart, I swore we'd never be apart | |
She vowed her love forever and as I kissed her did the same | |
Dorraine, my Dorraine, my dark haired little angel | |
My belle of Ponchartrain | |
We sat down on the dock and with our hearts and fingers locked | |
We laughed and talked and joked about when our names are the same | |
And joking I said honey are you marrying me for money | |
And it took just one quick look to tell it hurt my dear Dorraine | |
She jumped and stood above me and she cried why you don't love me | |
I'm rowing home across the lake you won't see me again | |
I called and called some more but she rowed fast from the shore | |
And the clouds brought by a wind began to rain on Ponchartrain | |
Dorraine, I called Dorraine | |
Come back my little angel my belle of Ponchartrain | |
The storm should make her learn that she should make a swift return | |
But as the rain fell harder I lost sight of my Dorraine | |
As panic gripped my heart I drew the oars and made my start | |
To look for her on raging waters and the rain on Ponchartrain | |
At darkness I still called but no one heard my cries at all | |
And when the daybreak came then others helped me look for my Dorraine | |
But there was not a thing afloat except the oars from her rowboat | |
For all was lost upon the choppy waves and rain on Ponchartrain | |
Now I come day after day to where my sweetheart rowed away | |
And I gaze across the water of the rainy Ponchartrain | |
Just one thing and nothing more ever floated back to shore | |
Was this flower I hold it is the one I pinned on my Dorraine | |
Dorraine, my Dorraine, my dark haired little angel | |
My belle of Ponchartrain |
