Band - Evangeline Lyrics
E(intro)AShe stands on the banks of the mighty mississippiEAlone in the pale moonlightWaiting for a man, a riverboat gamblerASaid that hed return tonightThey used to waltz on the banks of the mighty mississippiELoving the whole night throughtil the riverboat gambler went off to make a killingAAnd bring it on back to you.D aEvangeline, evangelineE aCurses the soul of the mississippi queenE aThat pulled her man away.Bayou sam, from the south lousianneHad gambling in his veinsEvangeline, from the maritimes(*)Was slowly going insane.High on the top of hickory hillShe stands in the lightning and thunderDown on the river the boat was a-sinkingShe watched that queen go under
