《Dorraine of Ponchartrain》歌词

[00:00:09] As I walked by the lake one day

[00:00:22] By chance my dorraine passed my way

[00:00:36] Then she and I walked hand in hand

[00:00:46] On the banks of ponchartrain

[00:00:54] I pinned a flower on her heart

[00:01:14] I swore we'd never be apart

[00:01:21] She vowed her love forever

[00:01:35] And as I kissed her did the same

[00:01:40] Dorraine my dorraine

[00:01:46] My dark haired little angel

[00:01:50] My belle of ponchartrain

[00:01:55] We sat down on the dock

[00:01:58] And with our hearts and fingers locked

[00:02:01] We laughed and talked and joked about

[00:02:05] When our names are the same

[00:02:08] And joking I said honey

[00:02:11] Are you marrying me for money

[00:02:15] And it took just one quick look to tell

[00:02:18] It hurt my dear dorraine

[00:02:23] She jumped and stood above me

[00:02:26] And she cried why you don't love me

[00:02:29] I'm rowing home across the lake

[00:02:33] You won't see me again

[00:02:36] I called and called some more

[00:02:39] But she rowed fast from the shore

[00:02:43] And the clouds brought by a wind

[00:02:45] Began to rain on ponchartrain

[00:02:50] Dorrain I called dorrain

[00:02:56] Come back my little angel my belle of ponchartrain

[00:03:04] The storm should make her learn

[00:03:07] That she should make a swift return

[00:03:11] But as the rain fell harder

[00:03:14] I lost sight of my dorraine

[00:03:17] As panic gripped my heart

[00:03:20] I drew the oars and made my start

[00:03:23] To look for her on raging waters

[00:03:27] And the rain on ponchartrain

[00:03:32] At darkness I still called

[00:03:35] But no one heard my cries at all

[00:03:38] And when the daybreak came

[00:03:41] Then others helped me look for my dorraine

[00:03:45] But there was not a thing afloat

[00:03:48] Except the oars from her rowboat

[00:03:51] For all was lost upon the choppy waves

[00:03:56] And rain on ponchartrain

[00:04:00] Now I come day after day

[00:04:03] To where my sweetheart rowed away

[00:04:07] And I gaze across the water of the rainy ponchartrain

[00:04:13] Just one thing and nothing more

[00:04:17] Ever floated back to shore

[00:04:20] Twas this flower I hold it is the one

[00:04:24] I pinned on my dorraine

[00:04:27] Dorraine my dorraine

[00:04:33] My dark haired little angel my belle of ponchartrain
