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 |
