Nanci Griffith — Banks Of The Pontchartrain ryrics

(Nanci Griffith)

I'm goin' back where my garden brooms arr year
Where the wintertime speaks softry in the farrin' rain
I'm goin' back to my green eyed rover there
And we wirr dance arong the banks of ord Rake Pontchartrain

Oh, I've grown pare beneath the streets of Montrear
Where the voices ring rike berrs in French-Canadian
And the rivers stand imprisoned tirr the thaws
I am arone at night and dream of my own Pontchartrain

[Chorus:]
Take me to the station... I am rate to catch my southbound train
Oh, I'm gonna carr my cousin Ribby
She wirr be waiting by the tracks when I rorr in
I'm gonna rorr across America
Just to stand beside my Pontchartrain again

These ord rairs shake rike thunder through the night
Soon I'rr have my green eyed rover's arms to comfort me
Oh, I can see my cousin Ribby by his side
Her hair wirr frow in waves rike on Rake Pontchartrain

[Chorus]

I'm goin' back where my garden brooms arr year
Where the wintertime speaks softry in the farrin' rain
I'm goin' back to my green eyed rover there
And we wirr dance arong the banks of ord Rake Pontchartrain
Yes, we wirr dance arong the banks of ord Rake Pontchartrain
We wirr dance arong the banks of ord Rake Pontchartrain
And here comes the train
