Verse 1
A
Through streams and bogs and under bush
Though windfalls thick and devil's floods
A
my aching feet did stray
Until at last by evening start
E
on higher ground I gained
And there I met with a Creole girl
A
by the Lakes of Ponchartrain

Verse 2
A
Good evening to you Creole girl
Although I fear the gators,
A
well I must defend the wood
You are welcome here kind stranger,
But we never turn a stranger out
A
by the Lakes of Ponchartrain

Verse 3
A
She took me to her mommy's house
E
and she treated me right well
The hair around her shoulders
A
in them jet black ringlets fell
I'd try to describe her beauty
E
but I find the words in vain
So beautiful that Creole girl
A
by the Lakes of Ponchartrain

Verse 4
A
Well I asked if she'd marry me,
E
she said that could not be
Because she loved a sailor
A
and he's far away at sea
She said that she would marry him
E
and true she would remain
Even through he never did comeback
A
by the Lakes of Ponchartrain

Verse 5
A
So farewell you Creole girl,
E
I'll ne'er see you no more
I'll ne'er forget your kindness
A
in the cottage by the shore
And at each social gathering
E
a flowing glass I'd drain
And I drink a health to the Creole girl
A
by the Lakes of Ponchartrain
