Going down Elysian Fields The dark gray smoke plume flies Over English rolled-iron rails And cypress railroad ties Over shotgun cottage roofs The woeful whistle cries “All aboard, we're bound for Milneburg!” Smoky Mary, rollin' down the line Smoky Mary, over swampy brine Smoky Mary, I'll save my nickels, save my dimes I'll be passing a good time in Milneburg Lake House Tavern shining bright The Washington Hotel Sazerac and flaming rum And whiskey from the well Dixieland and Creole ladies Their laughter casts a spell To call you, call you on to Milneburg Smoky Mary, rollin' down the line Smoky Mary, over swampy brine Smoky Mary, I'll save my nickels, save my dimes I'll be passing a good time in Milneburg So let's go! Pontchartrain Railroad 5 miles long River to the lake, gonna take you along Pontchartrain Railroad rollin' like a song Lake to the river, you can't go wrong Pontchartrain Railroad 5 miles long River to the lake, gonna take you along Pontchartrain Railroad rollin' like a song Lake to the river, you can't go wrong Ooooo Camphouse village built on stilts The Port of Pontchartrain Margaret in the lighthouse shines Her beacon in the rain Once you breathe that lakeshore breeze You'll never be the same You'll be so glad you came to Milneburg To Milneburg Smoky Mary, rollin' down the line Smoky Mary, over swampy brine Smoky Mary, I'll save my nickels, save my dimes I'll be passing a good time in Milneburg Yeah, I'll be passing a good time in Milneburg Oh, I'll be passing a good time in Milneburg
