[Verse]
Bm G
I am the seed of Adam and Eve
D A
That apple didn't fall too far from the tree
Bm G
Well I stole Eve's hand and we ran behind some bushes
D A
To try a more original sin
G D A
I said I think I love you Eve, she said call me Evelyn
G D A
I said I think I love you Eve, she said call me Evelyn
[Chorus]
Bm G
And I said come on baby why you want to wait
D A
Why don't we start this whole thing over again
Bm G
Come on baby why you want to wait
D A
You know we can start this whole thing over again
G D A
These days she loves it when I call her Evelyn
[Verse]
Bm G
We were short on rent and got cast out by the landlord
D A
But that don't seem to phase Evelyn
Bm G
I found an empty boxcar and I pulled her on board
D A
We'd get south before the winter set in
G D A
She runs her fingers over the letters that I carved in
G D A
These days she loves it when I call her Evelyn
[Chorus]
Bm G
And I said come on baby why you want to wait
D A
Why don't we start this whole thing over again
Bm G
Come on baby why you want to wait
D A
You know we can start this whole thing over again
G D A
These days she loves it when I call her Evelyn
[Verse]
Bm G
We got off in what was Jackson next to Charlie's Bar
D A
And I convinced Charlie to let me play
Bm G
He couldn't pay us no money but he had a place upstairs
D A
Where he let me and Evelyn stay
G D A
We like it fine but talk all the time about leaving again
G D A
Maybe settling down somewhere like France or Ireland
[Chorus]
Bm G
And I said come on baby why you want to wait
D A
Why don't we start this whole thing over again
Bm G
Come on baby why you want to wait
D A
You know we can start this whole thing over again
G D A
These days she loves it when I call her Evelyn
[Outro]
G D A
We'll find a run down shack on a small piece of land
G D A
And I'll work on the house while you make us our own garden
