Evangeline – Sammy Kershaw
Capo 2 for Original Key
GShe’s been here Workin’ all summer longD  
DPumpin’ gas For the boats on the Caux de BlancheG  
GShe’s so brown from bein’ in the sun all dayD  
                                D  A(pj)                                   D  
And boys from town Hang around her pa-paw’s place (and they all say)
Hey you Gcan see here down at the boondocksD  
DWalkin’ up the pier in her flip flopsG  
GTyin’ up the lines in her tank topD  
DDippin’ out the bait at the bait shopG  
Well everCy boy around would love to say that girl’s mineG  
But sumDmer’s gonna end I know
DOh we gonna miss you so
DWish you didn’t have to go… EvangelineG  
It won’t be long
She’ll be goin’ back to school
Goin’ home
All the way to Baton Rouge
Well her pa-paw
Says he’ll get along the best he can
And all the boys
Will be so broken hearted then (‘til it’s summer again)
Hey you can see here down at the boondocks
Walkin’ up the pier in her flip flops
Tyin’ up the lines in her tank top
Dippin’ out the bait at the bait shop
Well every boy around would love to say that girl’s mine
But summer’s gonna end I know
Oh we gonna miss you so
Wish you didn’t have to go… Evangeline
BREAK
Well every boy around would love to say that girl’s mine
But summer’s gonna end I know
Oh we gonna miss you so
Wish you didn’t have to go… Evangeline
Girl I’m gonna miss you so… Evangeline
