Evangeline --- John Harrelson
Come [D]on Evangeline and [A7]dance this night away.
Your [A7]Papa he won’t miss you un-[D]til the light of day.
Come [D]on Evangeline, don’t you [A7]hear the music say:
[A7]“Come, come away … Evangeline, dan-[D]ser!”
[D]Out there on the bayou, [A7]shining like a star,
The [A7]moon that hovers overhead, it [D]knows just who you are.
And [D]when you come to town, the [A7]boys all come alive.
[A7]Don’t you hear them call: “Evange-[D]line”?
Come [D]on Evangeline and [A7]dance this night away.
Your [A7]Papa he won’t miss you un-[D]til the light of day.
Come [D]on Evangeline, don’t you [A7]hear the music say:
[A7]“Come, come away … Evangeline, dan-[D]ser!”
I [D]loved you since I saw you --- be-[A7]fore I could call your name.
I [A7]never loved before you and I’ll [D]never love again.
[D]When you come to town, I [A7]hope I’ll cross your mind.
[A7]Come, come to me, my Evange-[D]line.
Come [D]on Evangeline and [A7]dance this night away.
Your [A7]Papa he won’t miss you un-[D]til the light of day.
Come [D]on Evangeline, don’t you [A7]hear the music say:
[A7]“Come, come away … Evangeline, dan-[D]ser!”
