She stands on the banks of the mighty Mississippi
BbAlone in the pale moonlight
BbWaitin' for a man, a riverboat gambler
Said that he'd return tonight
They used to waltz on the banks of the mighty Mississippi
BbLovin' the whole night through
He was a riverboat gambler off to make a killin'
EbAnd bring it on back to you
G# EbEvangeline Evangeline
Curses the soul of the Mississippi Queen
Bb EbThat pulled her man away
SOLO
Eb
Bayou Sam from South Louisian'
Had gamblin' in his veins
Evangeline from the maritime
EbWas slowly goin' insane
High on the top of a Hickory Hill
BbShe stands in the lightning and thunder
Down on the river the boat was a sinkin'
She watched that Queen go under
G# EbEvangeline Evangeline
Bb EbCurses the soul of the Mississippi Queen
That pulled her man away
G# EbEvangeline Evangeline
Bb EbCurses the soul of the Mississippi Queen
That pulled her man away
