Across the Pontchartrain

Across the ponchatrain
 A young boy pulls a catfish from a roadside pond
 He holds it up for the world to see in the late delta sun
 I can hear distant thunder it sure feels like rain
 Rumbling across the pontchartrain
 Rumbling across the pontchartrain
 Holy cow and mother in law and ooh poo pa do
 The words are hanging in the air i remember the dance with you
 I close my eyes and hear those soulful old refrains
 Floating across the pontchartrain
 Floating across the pontchartrain
 Now i don't know what really happened
 But i know in my heart that it ended way too soon
 Now here i am alone down in the bayou
 Talking to the louisiana moon
 I think it's time to pack up get it ticket on that northbound train
 To take me across the pontchartrain
 I gotta go take me across the pontchartrain
