Mixed Signals Lyrics
so what another wasted night television steals our convesation exhale another wasted breath again it goes unnoticed pl
so what another wasted night television steals our convesation exhale another wasted breath again it goes unnoticed pl
O it was one fine morning
I bid New Orleans adieu
And took the road to Jackson Town
My fortune to renew
I cursed all foreign money
No credit could I gain
Which had my heart a-longing
For the Lakes of Pontchartrain
I stowed aboard a railroad car
Beneath the morning sun
And I rode the rails 'til eventide
'Til I finally lay me down
No stranger would befriend me
'
Colorblind Lyrics
pathetic creatures, walking endless, pathetic species, lost in a myth breeding like rats, glorious glimpse at the heavens casting down on shallow threads over horizons that lay
Til a dark girl toward me camepathetic creatures, walking endless, pathetic species, lost in a myth breeding like rats, glorious glimpse at the heavens casting down on shallow threads over horizons that lay
And I fell in love with a Creole girl
On the Lakes of Pontchartrain
I said 'My bonnie Creole lass,
My money 'tis no good
And if it weren't for the alligators
I'd sleep here in the wood.'
'You're welcome here kind stranger
Our house is very plain
But we never turn a stranger out
On the Lakes of Pontchartrain.'
She took me into her mama's house
I'm gonna have a little talk with Jesus When I get home tonight Gonna tell him all about my troubles And I know he'll make them right Then I'll ask him to forgive me For the things that I've done
The hair upon her shoulders
In jet black ringlets fell
To try to paint her beauty
'Twould surely be in vain
So handsome was my Creole lass
On the Lakes of Pontchartrain
I asked her if she'd marry me,
She said that ne'er could be
For she had a lover
Who was far away at sea
She said that she would wait for him
And true she would remain

Dreamin' Out Loud Lyrics
Pardon me mister, it was my mistake I gotta be more careful in a crowd If you caught me talkin' to someone you can't see Don't mind me, I'm dreamin' out loud I can't help wondering what did
Til he returned to his Creole lassPardon me mister, it was my mistake I gotta be more careful in a crowd If you caught me talkin' to someone you can't see Don't mind me, I'm dreamin' out loud I can't help wondering what did
On the Lakes of Pontchartrain
So fare thee well, my Creole lass,
I'll ne'er see you no more
And I'll ne'er forget your kindness
In the cottage by the shore
And at each social gathering
A flowing bowl I'll drain
I'll raise a glass to my Creole lass
On the Lakes of Pontchartrain
I'll raise a glass to my bonnie lass
On the Lakes of Pontchartrain
