Letra Evangeline de Band original

E
(Intro)
A
She stands on the banks of the mighty Mississippi
E
Alone in the pale moonlight

Waiting for a man, a riverboat gambler
A
Said that he'd return tonight

They used to waltz on the banks of the mighty Mississippi
E
Loving the whole night through

'Til the riverboat gambler went off to make a killing
A
And bring it on back to you.

D A
Evangeline, Evangeline
E A
Curses the soul of the Mississippi queen
E A
That pulled her man away.

Bayou Sam, from the South Lousianne
Had gambling in his veins
Evangeline, from the Maritimes()
Was slowly going insane.

High on the top of Hickory Hill
She stands in the lightning and thunder
Down on the river the boat was a-sinking
She watched that queen go under
