Evangeline
Robbie Robertson
[Verse 1]
She stands on the banks 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
He was a riverboat gambler off to make a killin
And bring it on back to you
[Chorus]
Evangeline Evangeline
Curses the soul of the Mississippi Queen
That pulled her man away
[Solo]
[Verse 2]
Bayou Sam from South Louisian
Had gamblin in his veins
Evangeline from the maritime
Was slowly goin insane
High on the top of a Hickory Hill
She stands in the lightning and thunder
Down on the river the boat was a sinkin
She watched that Queen go under
[Chorus]
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
From:The Last Waltz (with EmmyLou)
