The Coronas - Lakes of Pontchartrain

[TheAnnadeux]

I love this..being from South Louisiana ...I can relate:) Beautiful;) Now I have to hear more:) Being a true cajun..I'm Cherokee Choctaw Irish and French:)

[180candy]

Is breá liom an coronas xD

[eltel104]

Absolutely class ... im not saying its any better or worse than paul brady's version as both acts bring their own unique style to the song .... it drives me mad that these lads get no recognition outside of ireland !!!

cool song guys 

[irish30irish1]

this by far the best version, class song

[TheFeelthebyrne]

Very, very good version of this immense tune, but i just dont think its as good as the original by Paul Brady. Still class though :)

[bigbuckskid]

savage

[RoGub1991]

Does anyone know the chords?



[ShannonProductionsx]

@RoGub1991 If you go to their website,and go to lyrics,i think theres chords there! :D

[RoGub1991]

@ShannonProductionsx I checked that out before but it's only there old stuff that they have up. Thamks anyway :)

[rossbj138]

Its actually not a bad version considering how many amazing other versions there are and that the coronas are shit

[MrChello121]

Can we please stop debating about which version is better and just realise that this is a very good rendition of a very good song.

[seandeburca1986]

Getting hate mail from Corona's fans, sure i never thought i'd see the day..For people who think i should let up on the Corona's because they play their own instruments, come ffs is that the best we can do these days? The last recession Ireland was producing the likes of Thin Lizzy and Rory Gallagher..Now the best we can hope for is this pack of wankers! It was bad enough to hear them doing there own songs without butchering the classics! ha

[saoirseterri]

@seandeburca1986

Sean not sure what your problem is but if don't like it no need to be abusive about it.

Wouldn't be my favorite version either but there is certanly nothing wrong with it, I remember Al O'Donnell used do it in the 60's and he gave it Andy Irevine who gave it Paul Brady and on it went.

My point is that all sang it differently..in fact as you mentioned Rory Gallagher God Rest him he also did a lovely blusesy version of it. Music is in the ear of the listener Sean

[tippspur]

That's just Brilliant.

[neverlatelys]

Really good version, love it!

[MrPauliewalsh]

This would easily reach number one if they released it.

[xxxxx2340776]

Sean de burca. freedom for artists to cover songs at will particularly the coronas rock on guys and chill Sean .

[seandeburca1986]

Fuck the Coronas and the fucking talent-less thoughtless unoriginal horse they rode in on!!! They should have left this song alone the Paul Brady version is nothing short of a masterpiece!

[TaylorKinsley]

@seandeburca1986  fuck you.

[TrueBlueEG8]

@seandeburca1986 whats so unoriginal about this? its not their song,and paul brady didnt write it either, and if im honest christy moores version is my favourite. lay off the coronas,they are good by todays standards,at least they sing and play instruments,give them some credit.

[herosandghosts]

@seandeburca1986 what the fucking hell. noone said ya had to listen to this epic version of the song.no need to dis it. chill out dude
