  G    G/F#    Em D   C        G
It was one fine March morning I bid New Orleans adieu
   G    G/F#  Em   D    Em      C
And I took the road to Jackson town, my fortune to renew
 G     G/F#  Em D    Em       C
I cursed all foreign mo-ney, no credit could I gain
   G    G/F#     Em   D      C        G
til I fell in love with the Creole girl by the lakes of Ponchartrain


  G    G/F#   Em   D     C        G
She took me into her Mama's house, and treated me right well
  G   G/F#  Em  D    Em         C
The hair upon her shoulders in jet black ringlets fell
  G    G/F#   Em D   Em         C
To try and paint her beauty, I know it would be in vain
  G    G/F#  Em   D      C        G
So handsome was my Creole girl by the lakes of Ponchartrain

 G              C             G
I asked her if she'd marry me, She said that ne'er could be
  G                   C
For she had got a lo-ver and he was far at sea
  G          C    D    G        C
She said that she would wait for him and true she would remain
   G                   C        G
Till he'd return to his Creole girl on the lakes of Ponchartrain


G     G/F#   Em   D    C         G
Fare thee well, me Creole girl, I never will see you more
 G    G/F#   Em D      Em       C
I won't forget your kindness in the cottage by the shore
  G    G/F#  Em  D    Em        C
And at each social gathering, a flowing bowl I'll drain
  G      G/F#     Em   D      C        G
