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
