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 Evangeline, Evangeline Curses the soul of the Mississippi queen That pulled her man away Bayou Sam from south Louisiana' 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 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
