Evangeline

歌詞

(Intro) 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.
