Evangeline |
She stands on the bank of the mighty Mississippi |
Alone in the pale moonlight |
Waitin' for a man, a riverboat gambler |
Said that he’d return tonight |
They used to waltz on the banks of the mighty Mississippi |
Lovin' the whole night through |
'Til the riverboat gambler went off to make a killing |
And bring it on back to you |
Evangeline, Evangeline |
Curses the soul of the Mississippi Queen |
That pulled her man away |
Bayou Sam, from South Louisian' |
Had gambling in his veins |
Evangeline, from the Maritimes |
Was slowly goin' insane |
High on the top of Hickory Hill |
She stands in the lightnin' and thunder |
Down on the river the boat was a-sinkin' |
She watched that queen go under |
Evangeline, Evangeline |
Curses the soul of the Mississippi Queen |
That pulled her man away |
Evangeline, Evangeline |
Curses the soul of the Mississippi Queen |
That pulled her man away |
