Across the Pontchartrain Songtext
von Donnie Fritts

Across the ponchatrain

A young boy pulls a catfish from a roadside pond
He holds it up for the world to see in the late delta sun
I can hear distant thunder it sure feels like rain
Rumbling across the pontchartrain
Rumbling across the pontchartrain


Holy cow and mother in law and ooh poo pa do
The words are hanging in the air i remember the dance with you
I close my eyes and hear those soulful old refrains
Floating across the pontchartrain
Floating across the pontchartrain

Now i don′t know what really happened
But i know in my heart that it ended way too soon
Now here i am alone down in the bayou
Talking to the louisiana moon

I think it's time to pack up get it ticket on that northbound train
To take me across the pontchartrain
I gotta go take me across the pontchartrain
