G (w riff) Born on the Mississippi river by the middle hobo jungle A gypsy angel at the age of seven learned how to hustle Fifteen years and no harvest moon Then Evangelene when she was doin' the tune
AmFG And she's a panther runnin' from the hunter AmFG And a gypsy violin turns her into a dancer, into a dancer Drive downtown where her grandfather sits upon his porch swin He plays a Cajun fiddle while he does the jig around a jug of whiskey Said "... don't take a ride with that silk shirt man He'll end up doin' you wrong ... Evangelene ..." Now he's a hunter, and you should be a panther You gotta run through the moonlight down by the river he can't catch her
CEm7 But the rain came on Sunday mornin' as she walked out the door CG Down the dirt path to the church on the corner by the river FEmF She saw the man standing there who asked her out for a little ride G To his home, there on the Mississippi
Captain James don't you think I'm a little bit young now I could learn to wear a gambler's suit ... I could put you out Want to see the streets of New Orleans You'll be the number one Malado queen
He turned this hunter into a panther When he asked the question she didn't have an answer He was a hunter and she became a panther In the pale moon, river bed he's never gonna catch her
He's the hunter ... she's the panther Her father's from the only money ... and I'm gonna meet him down there This "House of the Rising Sun" ... I want to get away from here You're a panther ... I'm a hunter ...
