They used to waltz on the banks of the Mighty Mississippi, lovin' the whole night through. 'Til the riverboat gambler went on to make a Killing 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 Louisiana had Gambling in his veins. Evangeline from the Maritimes was Slowly going insane. High on the top of the hickory hill, She stands in the lightning and thunder. Down on the river the boat was a-sinking, And she watched that Queen go under. Evangeline, Evangeline Curses the soul of the Mississippi Queen that Pulled her man away.
