Does anyone know the lyrics to the D.L. Menard version of this song? There are a few verses that D.L. sings that aren’t in the Hank Williams version. It might be tough regarding D.L.’s thick Cajun accent

I found this one
He's singing all this lyrics for sure, bur you know that.
I will try to find out the other later.

I traveled from Texas to old Louisanne
Through valleys, o'er mountains and plains
Both footsore and weary, I rested a while
On the banks of the old Pontchartrain

The fairest young maiden that I ever saw
Passed by as it started to rain
We both found a shelter beneath the same tree
On the banks of the old Pontchartrain

?? verse

We hid from the shower an hour or so
She asked me how long I'd remain
I told her that I'd spend the rest of my days
On the banks of the old Pontchartrain

?? verse

I just couldn't tell her that I ran away
From jail on a West Texas plain
I prayed in my heart I would never be found
On the banks of the old Pontchartrain

Then one day, a man put his hand on my arm
And said I must go west again
I left her alone without saying goodbye
On the banks of the old Pontchartrain

Tonight, as I sit here alone in my cell
I know that she's waiting in vain
I'm hoping and praying someday to return
To the banks of the old Pontchartrain
