Evangeline Lyrics - Emmylou Harris

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 

To the 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 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
