Dorraine of Ponchartrain Johnny Cash

[Verse 1]
As I walked by the lake one day, by chance my Dorraine passed my way
Then she and I walked hand in hand on the banks of Pontchartrain
I pinned a flower on her heart, I swore we'd never be apart
She vowed her love forever and, as I kissed her, did the same

[Chorus]
Dorraine, my Dorraine
My dark-haired little angel
My belle of Pontchartrain

[Verse 2]
We sat down on the dock and with our hearts and fingers locked
We laughed and talked and joked about when our names are the same
And joking, I said, "Honey, are you marrying me for money?"
And it took just one quick look to tell it hurt my dear Dorraine

[Verse 3]
She jumped and stood above me and she cried, "Why you don't love me!
I'm rowing home across the lake you won't see me again"
I called and called some more, but she rowed fast from the shore
And the clouds brought by a wind began to rain on Pontchartrain

[Chorus]
Dorraine, I called Dorraine
Come back, my little angel
My belle of Pontchartrain
