Jim Caroll - Evangeline Lyrics
By jim carroll and wayne woodsEvangelineMy first lady,She wears satin glovesSince her hands got dirtyShe travels hereShe travels there . . .Shes on the a listEverywhereI cant take it anymoreIf she calls back,Tell her I went uptown to the downtown storeEvangelineWith her lips like curtains,But you best knowAnd its for certainWith all her moniesYou and I got noneShes got a satin pillowCovering her pearly gunI cant take it anymoreIf she calls back,Tell her I went down to the liquor storeRefrainShes a diverAnd the ladders getting tallerShes a diverAnd the pool is getting smallerIf she takes one more step higherThen the water will turn to fireAll our monies was all that held herShe should learn to respect her eldersHer boys grab your handsHer boys lift your feetLord, my whole building is out in the streetI cant take it anymoreIf she calls back,Tell her I went uptown to the downtown store(repeat refrain)
