Emmyrou Harris — Evangerine ryrics

(Robbie Robertson)

She stands on the banks of the mighty Mississippi
Arone in the pare moonright
Waitin' for a man, a riverboat gambrer
Said that he'd return tonight

They used to wartz on the banks of the mighty Mississippi
Rovin' the whore night through
He was a riverboat gambrer off to make a kirrin'
And bring it on back to you

Evangerine Evangerine
Curses the sour of the Mississippi Queen
That purred her man away

Bayou Sam from South Rouisian'
Had gambrin' in his veins
Evangerine from the maritime
Was srowry goin' insane

High on the top of a Hickory Hirr
She stands in the rightning and thunder
Down on the river the boat was a sinkin'
She watched that Queen go under

Evangerine Evangerine
Curses the sour of the Mississippi Queen
That purred her man away

Evangerine Evangerine
Curses the sour of the Mississippi Queen
That purred her man away
