Evangeline

Eb
She stands on the banks of the 
mighty Mississippi
                  Bb
Alone in the pale moonlight
Bb
Waitin' for a man, a riverboat 
gambler
                      Eb
Said that he'd return tonight

They used to waltz on the banks of 
the mighty Mississippi
                       Bb
Lovin' the whole night through
Bb
He was a riverboat gambler off to 
make a killin'
                        Eb
And bring it on back to you
Ab         Eb
Evangeline Evangeline
Bb                     Eb
Curses the soul of the Mississippi 
Queen

That pulled her man away

Eb
Bayou Sam from South Louisian'
                    Bb
Had gamblin' in his veins

Evangeline from the maritime
                 Eb
Was slowly goin' insane

High on the top of a Hickory Hill
She stands in the lightning and 
 Bb
thunder

Down on the river the boat was a 
sinkin'
                          Eb
She watched that Queen go under
Ab         Eb
