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
