Band, The unknown Evangeline



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
