Generate meaning
1
She stands on the bank of the mighty Mississippi
2
Alone in the pale moonlight
3
Waitin' for a man, a riverboat gambler
4
Said that he'd return tonight
5
They used to waltz on the banks of the mighty Mississippi
6
Lovin' the whole night through
7
'Til the riverboat gambler went off to make a killing
8
And bring it on back to you.
9
Evangeline, Evangeline
10
Curses the soul of the Mississippi Queen
11
That pulled her man away.
12
Bayou Sam, from South Louisian'
13
Had gambling in his veins
14
Evangeline, from the Maritimes
15
Was slowly goin' insane.
16
High on the top of Hickory Hill
17
She stands in the lightnin' and thunder
18
Down on the river the boat was a-sinkin'
19
She watched that queen go under
20
Evangeline, Evangeline
21
Curses the soul of the Mississippi Queen
22
That pulled her man away.
23
Evangeline, Evangeline
24
Curses the soul of the Mississippi Queen
25
That pulled her man away.
