| | | Artist: | EMMYLOU HARRIS |
| | Album: | Unknown | | Track: | Evangeline | | | | Date Added: | 18/10/2007 | | Views: | 81 | | | | Lyrics: | (Robbie Robertson)
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
He was a
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
Evangeline Evangeline
Curses the soul of the Mississippi Queen
That pulled
her man away
Evangeline Evangeline
Curses the soul of the Mississippi Queen
That
pulled her man away | | | |  Reddit | X / Twitter | Facebook | Copy link |
