Evangeline

She's been here workin' all summer long

Pumpin' gas for the boats on the Cote Blanche

She's so brown from bein' in the sun all day

And boys from town hang around her pa paw's place

And they all say



Hey, you can see her down at the boat dock

Walkin' up the pier in her flip flops

Tyin' up the lines in her tank top

Dippin' out the bait at the bait shop



Every boy around would love to say, "That girl's mine"

Summer's gonna end I know

Oh, we gonna miss you so

Wish you didn't have to go, Evangeline



It won't be long, she'll be goin' back to school

Well, goin' home, all the way to Baton Rouge

Well, her pa paw says he'll get along the best he can

And all the boys will be so brokenhearted then

'Til it's summer again



Then you can see her down at the boat dock

Walkin' up the pier in her flip flops

Tyin' up the lines in her tank top

Dippin' out the bait at the bait shop



Every boy around would love to say, "That girl's mine"

Summer's gonna end I know

Oh, we gonna miss you so

Wish you didn't have to go, Evangeline



Well, every boy around would love to say, "That girl's mine"

Summer's gonna end I know

Oh, we gonna miss you so

Wish you didn't have to go, Evangeline

Girl, I'm gonna miss you so, Evangeline
