Chords in this song5
Intro
Verse 1
Well, I'm going back where my garden blooms all year
Where the wintertime speaks softly in the falling rain
And I'm going back to my green-eyed lover there
We will dance along the banks of old Lake Ponchartrain
Verse 2
Oh, I've grown pale beneath the streets of Montreal
Where the voices ring like bells in French-Canadian
And the rivers stand imprisoned till the thaws
I am alone at night and dream of my own Pontchartrain
Chorus
Take me to the station
I am late to catch my south-bound train
And I'm gonna call my cousin Libby
She will be waitin' by the tracks when I roll in
Oh, I'm gonna roll across America
Just to stand beside my Ponchartrain again
Verse 3
These old rails shake like thunder through the night
Soon I'll have my green-eyed lover's arms to comfort me
Oh, I can see my cousin Libby by his side
Oh, her hair will flow in waves like on Lake Pontchartrain
Chorus
Take me to the station
I am late to catch my south-bound train
And I'm gonna call my cousin Libby
She will be waitin' by the tracks when I roll in
Oh, I'm gonna roll across America
Just to stand beside my Ponchartrain again
Verse 4
'Cause I'm going back where my garden blooms all year
Where the wintertime speaks softly in the fallin' rain
And I'm goin' back to my green-eyed lover there
We will dance along the banks of old Lake Pontchartrain
We will dance along the banks of old Lake Pontchartrain
Yes, we will dance along the banks of old Lake Pontchartrain
And here comes the train ...
