C                                    C7              F                 C  
I traveled from Texas to low Louisian',
                                                                                                  G7  
Through valleys, o'er mountains and plain.
             C                              C7                    F                 C  
Both footsore and weary, I rested a while
                  G7                                                              C  
On the banks of the Old Pontchar-train.
                                                  C7                      F                 C  
The fairest young maiden that I ever saw
                                                                        G7  
Passed by as it started to rain.
        C                                 C7                    F                                 C  
We both found a shelter beneath the same tree
                  G7                                                              C  
On the banks of the Old Pontchar-train.
                                  C7                                    F                              C  
I ventured a smile, but she thought I was bold.
                                                                  G7  
I hastened to try and explain,
          C                      C7                            F                      C  
But somehow I knew I would linger a while
                  G7                                                              C  
On the banks of the Old Pontchar-train.
                                             C7                 F                 C  
We hid from the shower an hour or so.
                                                                        G7  
She asked me how long I'd remain.
        C                    C7                            F                            C  
I told her I'd spend the rest of my life
                  G7                                                              C  
On the banks of the Old Pontchar-train.
                                          C7                            F                    C  
As time drifted by, we fell deeper in love,
                                                                                        G7  
A love that could just bring her pain.
     C                                    C7                      F                            C  
I knew that one day I would leave her alone
                     G7                                                            C  
On the banks of the Old Pontchar-train.
                                          C7                              F              C  
I just couldn't tell her that I ran away
                                                                        G7  
From jail on an old Texas plain.
     C                                 C7                              F                    C  
I prayed in my heart I would never be found
                     G7                                                            C  
On the banks of the Old Pontchar-train.
Then one day a man put his hand on my arm
