@@torvilasulvstle362 Hi Torvil, I hate to desagree, have a look at this two (e.g.) czcams.com/video/K8tPlJwEk2E/video.html czcams.com/video/_vfrR0s1vGQ/video.html Greetings from Madrid - Spain, take care
I was visiting family in Ireland about a week ago and heard this on the radio. I've always loved Irish folk music and I thought that this sounded beautiful. I forgot to take note of the song and have just spent about an hour searching for it. Now i'm probably going to listen to it for the rest of the night!
unreal song,the coronas wont release a single of this song because they do not want to have financial gain of a song so good that is not their own,..top respect,.any other group would be milking it for all its worth
I'm really looking forward to hearing these lads in 10-15 years. They are good now but strike me as a band that will be utterly, utterly brilliant with a little bit of age to them.
Paul bradys version is orders of magnitude better than this. While this guy can somewhat sing, his voice sounds whiney to me. Personally, I don't think the song suits him as I feel he doesn't relate to the words at all.
Yea....this has a hauntingly beautiful rawness about it that tugs at the heart strings. It's really the 'mist that does be on the bogs in the morn' like' but it is very very good of it's genre.
Absolutely class ... im not saying its any better or worse than paul brady's version as both acts bring their own unique style to the song .... it drives me mad that these lads get no recognition outside of ireland !!!
Tá The Coronas thar cionn! Tá brodúil orm leis an Coronas, tá siad banna ceoil go hand mhaith agus cheap me go bhfuil gach duine in Éireann brodúil freisin. Maith thú Coronas, maith thú. :)
Search lakes of pontchartrain tutorial and go to the one by PGRating. They play it the same way as in the tutorial but with a capo on the 3rd fret on this version and one on the fourth when the play it live :)
No offense to those who love Christy or Paul's version of this ( I love them too) but this fella sounds like he might have been the one who was there. His voice has a quality that recalls some of the American singers gets collected by the likes of Alan Lomax.
It was on one fine March morning when I bid New Orleans adieu And I was on the road to Jackson town, my fortunes to renew I cursed all foreign money, no credit could I gain Which filled my heart with longin' for the Lakes of Pontchartain I sat on board a railway car beneath the morning sun And I rode the rails 'til evening when I laid me down again All strangers there, no friends to me 'til a dark girl towards me came And I fell in love with a Creole girl on the Lakes of Pontchartrain I said, "My pretty Creole girl, my money here's no good If it weren't for the alligators I would sleep out in the woods." "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 out to her mama's house and treated me right well The hair upon her shoulders in jet black ringlets fell To try to paint her beauty I'm sure would be in vain So handsome was my Creole girl on the Lakes of Pontchartrain I asked her would she marry me. And she said it never would be For she had got another and he was off at sea She said that she would wait for him and faithful she'd remain Waiting for her sailor on the Lakes of Pontchartrain So fair thee well my bonny old girl. I may never see you no more I won't forget your kindness in that cottage by the shore And at every social gathering a golden glass I'll drain And I'll drink all health to the Creole girl on the Lakes of Pontchartrain
The Lakes of Pontchartrain is an Irish ballad about an unfortunate immigrant from Ireland who is given shelter by a beautiful Louisiana Creole woman. He falls in love with her and asks her to marry him, but she is already promised to a sailor and declines the offer
I worded the comment quite poorly in hind sight. I just feel that they as a band have so much more potential than what they show. Almost as if in an effort to hit "mainstream" popularity they have remained in the one gear and haven't released full potential. (An accusation made of KOL before "come around sundown" was released. Personally this song is a favorite and Moore's and Brady's versions would be the main versions. But as I always say, different strokes!
The body of water at lake Pontchartrain is even in elevation from one land mass to the other. If there was a deviation in elevation from any given starting point upon the surface, the body of water will flow. The claim that you live on a globular earth neccessitates that every body of water you have ever experienced is declining in elevation in ALL directions from you WITHOUT FLOWING.

@broderz1 you can download it, i think you can get a copy emailed to you from the bands website... well thats how i got it anyway through the free song on the mailing list. i have in the past emailed them for some recordings and they have sent them to me. just email the bands manager from the contact page on their website, his pretty helpful. or just send me a message with your email ill send it on to you... if i can :D

some voice,some country

cool song guys
every time I listen to this version after years and years it gets me, I just love it.. no disrespect to the planxty version atall atall
No disrespect to Paul Brady who we love but this version of the lakes of pontchartrain by the coronas is tops.
@ShannonProductionsx I checked that out before but it's only there old stuff that they have up. Thamks anyway :)
the coronas the scrip and bell x1,what a concert that would be

You must be joking, Christie Moore, generally over-rated IMO, but Paul Brady's version cannot be bettered, certianly not by this.
have heard many versions of this song but this is one of the best by far dylan's version bob that is doesn't hold a candle to it.
pat wheler bob dylans version for how good the man is is terrible!
Paul Brady's version is perfection
Well I can only say if you think that's you good should hear them do it live, believe me I taught it was worth the entrance fee
@roddyrodrodrod agreed but this song is epic they do it justice in fairness
They recorded this in 2010, but Paul Brady has recodings from 1978. Paul brady's is the better version in my opinion. With Andy Irvine. Check it out!
The best version ever is by Christy Moore...
It was on one fine March morning when I bid New Orleans adieu
And I was on the road to Jackson town, my fortunes to renew
I cursed all foreign money, no credit could I gain
Which filled my heart with longin' for the Lakes of Pontchartain
I sat on board a railway car beneath the morning sun
And I rode the rails 'til evening when I laid me down again
All strangers there, no friends to me 'til a dark girl towards me came
And I fell in love with a Creole girl on the Lakes of Pontchartrain
I said, "My pretty Creole girl, my money here's no good
If it weren't for the alligators I would sleep out in the woods."
"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 out to her mama's house and treated me right well
The hair upon her shoulders in jet black ringlets fell
To try to paint her beauty I'm sure would be in vain
So handsome was my Creole girl on the Lakes of Pontchartrain
I asked her would she marry me. And she said it never would be
For she had got another and he was off at sea
She said that she would wait for him and faithful she'd remain
Waiting for her sailor on the Lakes of Pontchartrain
So fair thee well my bonny old girl. I may never see you no more
I won't forget your kindness in that cottage by the shore
And at every social gathering a golden glass I'll drain
And I'll drink all health to the Creole girl on the Lakes of Pontchartrain
Some words wronh
Thank you ❤
