Evangeline lyrics

(Bob McDill/Carson Chamberlain)
She s been here working all summer long
Pumpin gas for the boats on the cote blanche
She s so brown, from being in the sun all day
The boys from town, hang around her pa-paw s place
And they all say
Hey you can see her down at the boat dock
Walking up the pier in her flip-flops
Tying up the lines in her tank top
Dipping 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
Won t be long, she ll be going back to school
Going home, all the way to Baton Rouge
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
Walking up the pier in her flip-flops
Tying up the lines in her tank top
Dipping 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
Hey you can see her down at the boat dock
Walking up the pier in her flip-flops
Tying up the lines in her tank top
Dipping 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
Wish you didn t have to go, Evangeline
