GUEST,Mrbisok@aol Origins: Lakes of Pontchartrain (145* d) Lakes of Ponchartrain 04 May 00


I just finished reading, again, the great lyrics to "Lakes of Ponchartrain." Who first wrote this song, lyrics and tune? Where does it come from? Is there any connection to Hank Williams' "By the banks of Ponchartrain"? This has been on my mind for l0 years, but now that I'm on the net, I can make my questions public.
