Lyrics Evangeline - The Jim Carroll Band

Evangeline

By jim carroll and wayne woods
Evangeline
My first lady,
She wears satin gloves
Since her hands got dirty
She travels here
She travels there.
..
Shes on the «a"list
Everywhere
I cant take it anymore
If she calls back,
Tell her I went uptown to the downtown store
Evangeline
With her lips like curtains,
But you best know
And its for certain
With all her monies
You and I got none
Shes got a satin pillow
Covering her pearly gun
I cant take it anymore
If she calls back,
Tell her I went down to the liquor store
Shes a diver
And the ladders getting taller
Shes a diver
And the pool is getting smaller
If she takes one more step higher
Then the water will turn to fire
All our monies was all that held her
She should learn to respect her elders
Her boys grab your hands
Her boys lift your feet
Lord, my whole building is out in the street
I cant take it anymore
If she calls back,
Tell her I went uptown to the downtown store
(repeat refrain)
