                       Evangeline
                    Robbie Robertson

AShe (x02220@1)stands on the banks of the mighty Mississippi
                  EAlone (022100@1)in the pale moonlight
EWaitin' (022100@1)for a man, a riverboat gambler
                      ASaid (x02220@1)that he'd return tonight

They used to waltz on the banks of the mighty Mississippi
                       ELovin' (022100@1)the whole night through
AHe (x02220@1)was a riverboat gambler off to make a killin'
                        AAnd (x02220@1)bring it on back to you
D (xx0232@1)       AEvangeline (x02220@1)Evangeline
E (022100@1)                   ACurses (x02220@1)the soul of the Mississippi Queen
     E (022100@1)           AThat (x02220@1)pulled her man away

SOLO

ABayou (x02220@1)Sam from South Louisian'
                    EHad (022100@1)gamblin' in his veins

Evangeline from the maritime
                 AWas (x02220@1)slowly goin' insane

High on the top of a Hickory Hill
                                 EShe (022100@1)stands in the lightning and thunder

Down on the river the boat was a sinkin'
                          AShe (x02220@1)watched that Queen go under
D (xx0232@1)       AEvangeline (x02220@1)Evangeline
E (022100@1)                   ACurses (x02220@1)the soul of the Mississippi Queen
     E (022100@1)           AThat (x02220@1)pulled her man away
D (xx0232@1)       AEvangeline (x02220@1)Evangeline
E (022100@1)                   ACurses (x02220@1)the soul of the Mississippi Queen
     E (022100@1)           AThat (x02220@1)pulled her man away
