Johnny Cash - Dorraine of ponchartrain

^AAs I walked by the lake one day by ^Dchance my Dorraine passed my way ^AThen she and I walked hand in hand on the ^B7banks of Ponchar^Atrain ^AI pinned a flower on her heart, I ^Dswore we'd never be apart ^AShe vowed her love forever and as I ^Ekissed her did the ^Asame

^ADorraine, my ^DDorraine, ^Amy dark haired little angel My ^Ebelle of Ponchar^Atrain

^AWe sat down on the dock and ^Dwith our hearts and fingers locked ^AWe laughed and talked and joked about when ^B7our names are the ^Asame ^AAnd joking I said honey are you ^Dmarrying me for money ^AAnd it took just one quick look to tell it ^Ehurt my dear Dorr^Aaine ^AShe jumped and stood above me and she ^Dcried why you don't love me ^AI'm rowing home across the lake ^B7you won't see me ^Eagain ^AI called and called some more but she ^Drowed fast from the shore ^AAnd the clouds brought by a wind began to ^Erain on Ponchar^Atrain

^ADorraine, my ^DDorraine, ^Amy dark haired little angel My ^Ebelle of Ponchar^Atrain

^AThe storm should make her learn that ^Dshe should make a swift return ^ABut as the rain fell harder ^B7I lost sight of my ^EDorraine ^AAs panic gripped my heart I drew the ^Doars and made my start ^ATo look for her on raging waters and ^Ethe rain on Ponchar^Atrain ^AAt darkness I still called but ^Dno one heard my cries at all ^AAnd when the daybreak came then others ^B7helped me look for my ^EDorraine ^ABut there was not a thing afloat ^Dexcept the oars from her rowboat ^AFor all was lost upon the choppy waves and ^Erain on Ponchar^Atrain ^ANow I come day after day to ^Dwhere my sweetheart rowed away ^AAnd I gaze across the water ^B7of the rainy Ponchar^Etrain ^AJust one thing and nothing more ^Dever floated back to shore ^AWas this flower I hold it is the ^Eone I pinned on my ^ADorraine

^ADorraine, my ^DDorraine, ^Amy dark haired little angel My ^Ebelle of Ponchar^Atrain
