[VERSE 1]
[A]As I walked by the lake one day by [D]chance my Dorraine passed my way
[A]Then she and I walked hand in hand on the [B7]banks of Ponchar[A]train
[A]I pinned a flower on her heart, I [D]swore we'd never be apart
[A]She vowed her love forever and as I [E]kissed her did the [A]same
[CHORUS]
[A]Dorraine, my [D]Dorraine, [A]my dark haired little angel
My [E]belle of Ponchar[A]train
[VERSE 2]
[A]We sat down on the dock and [D]with our hearts and fingers locked
[A]We laughed and talked and joked about when [B7]our names are the [A]same
[A]And joking I said honey are you [D]marrying me for money
[A]And it took just one quick look to tell it [E]hurt my dear Dorr[A]aine
[A]She jumped and stood above me and she [D]cried why you don't love me
[A]I'm rowing home across the lake [B7]you won't see me [E]again
[A]I called and called some more but she [D]rowed fast from the shore
[A]And the clouds brought by a wind began to [E]rain on Ponchar[A]train
[CHORUS]
[A]Dorraine, my [D]Dorraine, [A]my dark haired little angel
My [E]belle of Ponchar[A]train
[VERSE 3]
[A]The storm should make her learn that [D]she should make a swift return
[A]But as the rain fell harder [B7]I lost sight of my [E]Dorraine
[A]As panic gripped my heart I drew the [D]oars and made my start
[A]To look for her on raging waters and [E]the rain on Ponchar[A]train
[A]At darkness I still called but [D]no one heard my cries at all
[A]And when the daybreak came then others [B7]helped me look for my [E]Dorraine
[A]But there was not a thing afloat [D]except the oars from her rowboat
[A]For all was lost upon the choppy waves and [E]rain on Ponchar[A]train
[A]Now I come day after day to [D]where my sweetheart rowed away
[A]And I gaze across the water [B7]of the rainy Ponchar[E]train
[A]Just one thing and nothing more [D]ever floated back to shore
[A]Was this flower I hold it is the [E]one I pinned on my [A]Dorraine
[CHORUS]
[A]Dorraine, my [D]Dorraine, [A]my dark haired little angel
My [E]belle of Ponchar[A]train
