Evangeline Lyrics - Singles - Jim Carroll

By jim carroll and wayne woods 

Evangeline 

My first lady, 

She wears satin gloves 

Since her hands got dirty 

She travels here 

She travels there . . . 

She's on the "a" list 

Everywhere 

I can't take it anymore 

If she calls back, 

Tell her I went uptown to the downtown store 

Evangeline 

With her lips like curtains, 

But you best know 

And it's for certain 

With all her monies 

You and I got none 

She's got a satin pillow 

Covering her pearly gun 

I can't take it anymore 

If she calls back, 

Tell her I went down to the liquor store 

Refrain 

She's a diver 

And the ladder's getting taller 

She's a diver 

And the pool is getting smaller 

If she takes one more step higher 

Then the water will turn to fire 

All our monies was all that held her 

She should learn to respect her elders 

Her boys grab your hands 

Her boys lift your feet 

Lord, my whole building is out in the street 

I can't take it anymore 

If she calls back, 

Tell her I went uptown to the downtown store 

(repeat refrain)
