Evangeline

	  		A 
She stands on the banks of the mighty Mississippi 
                  E 
Alone in the pale moonlight 
E 
Waitin' 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 
Lovin' the whole night through 
A 
He was a riverboat gambler off to make a killin' 
                        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 

A 
Bayou Sam from South Louisian' 
                    E 
Had gamblin' in his veins 

Evangeline from the maritime 
                 A 
Was slowly goin' insane 

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

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