[Verse 1] A She stands on the banks of the mighty Mississippi E Alone in the pale moonlight E Waitin' for a man, a riverboat gambler A Said that he'd return tonight
They used to waltz on the banks of the mighty Mississippi E Lovin' the whole night through A He was a riverboat gambler off to make a killin' A And bring it on back to you
[Chorus] DA Evangeline Evangeline EA Curses the soul of the Mississippi Queen EA That pulled her man away
[Solo]
[Verse 2] A Bayou Sam from South Louisian' E Had gamblin' in his veins
Evangeline from the maritime A Was slowly goin' insane
High on the top of a Hickory Hill E She stands in the lightning and thunder
Down on the river the boat was a sinkin' A She watched that Queen go under
[Chorus] DA Evangeline Evangeline EA Curses the soul of the Mississippi Queen EA That pulled her man away
DA Evangeline Evangeline EA Curses the soul of the Mississippi Queen EA That pulled her man away
