Evangeline Songtext

von Sammy Kershaw

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
