She came from Heaven well there’s no point belaboring that
I’ve seen some trouble and I must admit that I’m in demand
I confront rejection with magnetic good intentions yet
hey Jack Get back in fact Don’t do that
I act sharp
but feel uncertain
cuz next time
It could be curtains

Evangeline
Conspirator so fine
lend me your faith cuz mine is broken
Compared to mine
what is your crime Evangeline

Now just to be certain let’s be sure to set the record straight
I could use an angel but I don’t intend to split up the take
Never go for treason but I got reasons that don’t warrant debate
My acts intact and in fact you’re not all that
You act sure
but youre uncertain
cuz next time
It could be curtains

Evangeline
Conspirator so fine
lend me your faith cuz mine is broken
Compared to mine
what is your crime Evangeline

Well there’s no use turning back
no use turning back
It’s already much too late
When the house is burning

Evangeline
Conspirator so fine
lend me your faith cuz mine is broken
Compared to mine
what is your crime Evangeline

E
(intro)
A
She stands on the banks of the mighty mississippi
E
Alone in the pale moonlight

Waiting 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
Loving the whole night through

‘til the riverboat gambler went off to make a killing
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.

Bayou sam, from the south lousianne
Had gambling in his veins
Evangeline, from the maritimes(*)
Was slowly going insane.

High on the top of hickory hill
She stands in the lightning and thunder
Down on the river the boat was a-sinking
She watched that queen go under

(bob mcdill/carson chamberlain)

She’s been here working all summer long
Pumpin’ gas for the boats on the cote blanche
She’s so brown, from being in the sun all day
The boys from town, hang around her pa-paw’s place
And they all say

Hey you can see her down at the boat dock
Walking up the pier in her flip-flops
Tying up the lines in her tank top
Dipping out the bait at the bait shop
Every boy around would love to say, "that girl’s mine"
Summer’s gonna end i know
Oh, we gonna miss you so
Wish you didn’t have to go, evangeline

Won’t be long, she’ll be going back to school
Going home, all the way to baton rouge
Her pa-paw says he’ll get along the best he can
And all the boys will be so brokenhearted then
‘til it’s summer again

Then you can see her down at the boat dock
Walking up the pier in her flip-flops
Tying up the lines in her tank top
Dipping out the bait at the bait shop
Every boy around would love to say, "that girl’s mine"
Summer’s gonna end i know
Oh, we gonna miss you so
Wish you didn’t have to go, evangeline

Hey you can see her down at the boat dock
Walking up the pier in her flip-flops
Tying up the lines in her tank top
Dipping out the bait at the bait shop
Every boy around would love to say, "that girl’s mine"
Summer’s gonna end i know
Oh, we gonna miss you so
Wish you didn’t have to go, evangeline
Wish you didn’t have to go, evangeline

Sorrow for letting someone else define you
Know who you are at every age
What impression am i making?
I see me as other people see me

There is no going back
I can’t stop feeling now
I am not the same, i’m growing up again
I am not the same
I’m growing up again
There’s no going back i can’t stop feeling now

I had to fantasize
I was a princess, mum and dad were queen and king
I ought to have what feeling?
I see me as other people see me

There is no going back
I can’t stop feeling now
I am not the same, i’m growing up again
I am not the same
I’m growing up again
There’s no going back i can’t stop feeling now

Feeling now

There is no going back, and
I can’t stop feeling now
I am not the same, i’m growing up again
I am not the same
I’m growing up again
There’s no going back i can’t stop feeling now

I had to fantasize
Just to survive
I was a famous artist
Everybody took me seriously

Even those who did
Never understood me
I had to fantasize
Just to survive

She’s on another planet
She’s in my dream
She’s some kind of angel
If you know what i mean
Try her on
She fits like a glove
Too bad she only thinks about
The lord above

Evangeline evangeline
I think i love you
But evangeline evangeline
I want you

Now if i called you up
Do you think you
Could deliver my soul?
Won’t you take a drink
Little darlin’
The cup is full

And every night i bow to pray
But i’ll feel a whole lot better
Once you’re coming my way

Evangeline evangeline
I think i love you
But evangeline evangeline
I want you

So come on down

So tell me how you want it
Come on, tell me how you want it
Just tell me how you want it

Just tell me how you want it
We won’t be seen
You can tell your father
It was all a dream
[try her on she fits like a glove]
Too bad the only man you trust
Is god above

Evangeline evangeline
I think i love you
But evangeline evangeline
I want you

Now evangeline evangeline
I think i love you
But evangeline evangeline
I want you

She’s some kind of angel
If you know what i mean

Evangeline
My first lady,
She wears satin gloves
Since her hands got dirty
She travels here
She travels there . . .
She’s on the "a" list
Everywhere

I can’t take it anymore
If she calls back,
Tell her i went uptown to the downtown store

Evangeline
With her lips like curtains,
But you best know
And it’s for certain

With all her monies
You and i got none
She’s got a satin pillow
Covering her pearly gun

I can’t take it anymore
If she calls back,
Tell her i went down to the liquor store

Refrain
She’s a diver
And the ladder’s getting taller
She’s a diver
And the pool is getting smaller
If she takes one more step higher
Then the water will turn to fire

All our monies was all that held her
She should learn to respect her elders

Her boys grab your hands
Her boys lift your feet

Lord, my whole building is out in the street

I can’t take it anymore
If she calls back,
Tell her i went uptown to the downtown store

(repeat refrain)
