    G
She stands on the banks 

of the mighty Mississippi
                      D     D7
Alone in the pale moonlight
D
Waiting for a man, a riverboat gambler
                 D7     G
Said that he'd return tonight
 
             G
They used to waltz on the banks 

of the mighty Mississippi
                       D      D7
Loving the whole night through
D
Til the riverboat gambler went off

 to make a killing
                D7       G
And bring it on home to you
 
 C           G
Evangeline, Evangeline
D                      G
Curses the soul of the Mississippi queen

That pulled her man away

Bayou Sam, from the South Louisian

Had gambling in his veins

Evangeline, from the Maritimes

Was slowly going insane

She stands on the top of Hickory Hill
                                D      D7
She stands in the lightning and thunder
D
Down on the river the boat was a-sinking
                 D7       G
She watched that queen go under
 
C           G
Evangeline, Evangeline
D                      G
Curses the soul of the Mississippi queen
     D          D7   G
That pulled her man away . . . .
