[Verse 1]
AShe stands on the banks of the mighty Mississippi
Alone in the pale Emoonlight
EWaitin' for a man, a riverboat gambler
Said that he'd return Atonight
They used to waltz on the banks of the mighty Mississippi
Lovin' the whole night Ethrough
EHe was a riverboat gambler off to make a killin'
And bring it on back to Ayou
[Chorus]
DEvangeline AEvangeline
ECurses the soul of the AMississippi Queen
That Epulled her man Aaway
[Solo]
[Verse 2]
ABayou Sam from South Louisian'
Had gamblin' in his Eveins
Evangeline from the maritime
Was slowly goin' Ainsane
High on the top of a Hickory Hill
She stands in the lightning and tEhunder
Down on the river the boat was a sinkin'
She watched that Queen go Aunder
[Chorus]
DEvangeline AEvangeline
ECurses the soul of the AMississippi Queen
That Epulled her man Aaway
DEvangeline AEvangeline
ECurses the soul of the AMississippi Queen
That Epulled her man Aaway

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
