    In olden days

    And every note, the song bird sang
    They would clap and smile and cheer.

    Brilliant Josh, love it.Paul Brady wud B proud of ye. Actually Bob Dylan invited Paul Brady to one of his concerts in d USA, after d gig Bob asked him to play his version of this song, which Paul did, Bob then started playing Paul's arrangement at his own gigs (without mentioning Paul). True story, check it out. I love Bob anyway, his songs ect, but still........

    T'was on one bright March morning I bid New Orleans adieu
    And I took the rode to Jackson town, me fortune to renew
    I cursed all foreign money, no credit could I gain
    Which filled me heart with longin' for the Lakes of Pontchartain
    I stepped on board of a railroad car beneath the morning sun
    And I rode the roads 'til evening and I laid me down again
    All strangers here, no friends to me 'til a dark girl towards me came
    And I fell in love with a Creole girl from the Lakes of Pontchartrain
    I said my pretty Creole girl, me money here's no good
    If it weren't for the alligators I'd sleep out in the wood
    You're welcome here kind stranger, our house it's very plain
    But we never turn a stranger out at the Lakes of Pontchartrain
    She took me to her mummy's house and she treated me quite well
    The hair upon her shoulders in jet black ringlets fell
    To try and paint her beauty I'm sure t'would be in vain
    So handsome was my Creole girl from the Lakes of Pontchartrain
    I asked her if she'd marry me, she'd said it could never be
    For she had got another and he was far at sea
    She said that she would wait for him and true she would remain
    'Til he returned for his Creole girl from the Lakes of Pontchartrain
    So fair thee well me bonny o' girl I never see no more
    But I'll ne'er forget your kindness and the cottage by the shore
    And at each social gathering a flowin' glass I'll raise
    And drink a health to me Creole girl from the Lakes of Pontchartrain
