Lyrics

On Pontchartrain
(Copyright RobRoy West Music)

Big Easy feels so hard tonight
she sings a pretty song
and dresses just as bright
but when love has all gone wrong
then nothin' else is right
on Pontchartrain
I watch the city lights

See our reflection in the water
glittering at me
Creole son and daughter
givin' me the third degree
and I hate to say how true
on Pontchartrain
I been missing you

Since you leave me New Orleans
I don't hardly make the scene
we both played this little game
but if you come this way again
gonna cover you like the rain
on Pontchartrain

One too many hurricanes
blew us far apart
the Quarter hasn't changed
but the beating of my heart
it ain't never been the same
on Ponchartrain
I must be where you are

Since you leave me New Orleans
I don't hardly make the scene
we both played this little game
but if you come this way again
gonna cover you like the rain
on Pontchartrain
