evangeline
she stands on the banks ot the mighty Mississippi
alone in the pale moonlight
waiting for the man a riverboot gambler
said that he’d return tonight
they used to waltz in the banks of the mighty Mississippi
loving the whole night trough
’till the riverboat gambler went off to make a killing
and bring it on back to you
Evangeline, Evangeline,
curses the soul ot the Mississippi queen
that pulled her man away
Bayou Sam, from the South Lousiana
had gambling in his veins
Evangeline, from the Maritimes
was slowly going insane
high on the top of the Hickory Hill
she stands in the lighning and thunder
down on the river the boat was a-sinking
she watched that queen go under
Evangeline, Evangeline,
curses the soul ot the Mississippi queen
that pulled her man away
hello walls
Hello walls (hello hello) how things go for you today
Don’t you miss her since she upped and walked away
And I’ll bet you dread to spend another lonely night with me
But lonely walls I’ll keep you company
Hello window well (hello hello) I see that you’re still here
Aren’t you lonely since our darling disappeared
Well look here is that a teardrop in the corner of your pane
Now don’t you try to tell me that it’s rain
She went away and left us all alone the way she planned
Yes we’ll have to learn to get along without her if we can
Hello ceiling (hello hello) I’m gonna stare at you a while
You know I can’t sleep so won’t you bear with me awhile
We gotta all stick together or else I’ll lose my mind
I’ve got a feeling she’ll be gone a long long time (hello hello)
