Written by a woman from Hank Williams' hometown Montgomery, AL to the tune of the old Irish waltz I'll Remember You Love In My Prayers, cut by Hank Snow.
Covers:
Formerly Brothers [Amos Garrett, Doug Sahm & Gene Taylor; as Banks Of The Old Pontchartrain]
Sharon Shannon [with Liam O'Maonlai from The Hothouse Flowers; they bring this song back home because these Irish also cut the other Pontchartrain song, The Lakes Of Pontchartrain]
Bob Dylan [at Saenger Theatre in New Orleans, flooded by Lake Pontchartrain during Katrina]
Not to be confused neither with Nanci Griffith's Banks Of The Pontchartrain, nor with Lakes Of Pontchartrain (see: Lily Of The West).
