Emmylou Harris   Evangeline  written by Robbie Robertson
Eb
She stands on the banks of the mighty Mississippi
                  Bb
Alone in the pale moonlight
Bb
Waitin' for a man, a riverboat gambler
                      Eb
Said that he'd return tonight
They used to waltz on the banks of the mighty Mississippi
                       Bb
Lovin' the whole night through
Bb
He was a riverboat gambler off to make a killin'
                        Eb
And bring it on back to you
Ab         Eb
Evangeline Evangeline
Bb                     Eb
Curses the soul of the Mississippi Queen
     Bb             Eb
That pulled her man away
SOLO
Eb
Bayou Sam from South Louisian'
                    Bb
Had gamblin' in his veins
Evangeline from the maritime
                 Eb
Was slowly goin' insane
High on the top of a Hickory Hill
                                 Bb
She stands in the lightning and thunder
Down on the river the boat was a sinkin'
                          Eb
She watched that Queen go under
Ab         Eb
Evangeline Evangeline
Bb                     Eb
Curses the soul of the Mississippi Queen
     Bb             Eb
That pulled her man away
Ab         Eb
Evangeline Evangeline
Bb                     Eb
Curses the soul of the Mississippi Queen
     Bb             Eb
That pulled her man away
