Dorraine Of Ponchartrain

Текст песни JOHNNY CASH - Dorraine Of Ponchartrain <br/> As I walked by the lake one day by chance my Dorraine passed my way <br />Then she and I walked hand in hand on the banks of Ponchartrain <br />I pinned a flower on her heart I swore we&#039;d never be apart <br />She vowed her love forever and as I kissed her did the same <br />Dorraine my Dorraine my fair haired little angel my belle of Ponchartrain <br />We sat down on the dock and with our hearts and fingers locked <br />We laughed and talked and joked about when our names are the same <br />( )<br />And joking I said honey are you marrying me for money <br />And it took just one quick look to tell it hurt my dear Dorraine <br />She jumped and stood above me and she cried why you don&#039;t love me <br />I&#039;m rowing home across the lake you won&#039;t see me again <br />I called and called some more but she rowed fast from the shore <br />And the clouds brought by a wind began to rain on Ponchartrain <br />Dorraine I called Dorraine come back my little angel my belle of Ponchartrain <br />The storm should make her learn that she should make a swift return <br />But as the rain fell harder I lost sight of my Dorraine <br />As panic gripped my heart I drew the oars and made my start <br />To look for her on raging waters and the rain on Ponchartrain <br />At darkness I still called but no one heard my cries at all <br />And when the daybreak came then others helped me look for my Dorraine <br />But there was not a thing afloat except the oars from her rowboat <br />For all was lost upon the choppy waves and rain on Ponchartrain <br />Now I come day after day to where my sweetheart rowed away <br />And I gaze across the water of the rainy Ponchartrain <br />Just one thing and nothing more ever floated back to shore <br />Twas this flower I hold it is the one I pinned on my Dorraine <br />Dorraine my Dorraine my fair haired little angel my belle of Ponchartrain
