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!”
