1
O Evangeline you been gone so long
2
and for a time it seemed
3
every road you took turned wrong
4
but a second chance would come
5
with each new bridge you burned
6
i know you squandered some
7
but then from some you learned
8
and the point of rescue well
9
you passes that long ago
10
o but to hear you tell it was
11
just another part of the show
12
o Evangeline your faith shone blind and true
13
we raise our glass and sing
14
of you Evangeline
15
O Evangeline you with no kith or kin
16
the nights so hard and mean
17
you shed like them a skin
18
for you were always strong
19
when the bad slid down to worse
20
you still had that song
21
it was your blessing and your curse
22
but in your tongue
23
there is no word for home
24
there'll be no one
25
to roll away the stone
26
O Evangeline you have been a prisoner here
27
bread and roses we shall bring
28
to you Evangeline
29
O Evangeline what are you fighting for
30
you stayed out in that ring
31
when nobody's even keepin score
32
but round by round you earned
33
your stumble into grace
34
still with every turn the world
35
becomes a sadder placr
36
it swallows up the ones
37
you have lost the most
38
so you sleep with none
39
you wake up with ghosts
40
O Evangeline you have salted with your tears
41
every lonely mile you've seen
42
thru the years Evangeline
43
it's a fatal shore
44
you now wash upon
45
so weary of the war
46
and longer young
47
O Evangeline your voice
48
risin sweet and clear
49
we close our eyes and dream
50
of you Evangeline
