Lyrics

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
 To the 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
