Lyrics
Cross the Mississippi line
Somewhere south of Palestine
A river full of rusty rain
Whistle on a midnight train
Fade into the misty air
Moving on to who knows where
Pushing timber, stealing stone
Destination anywhere, destiny unknown
Evangeline was her name
Hot Cajun blood flowed through her veins
Flashing eyes as black as coal
Burned into my very soul
She taunted, teased, and hypnotized
With promises and honeyed lies
One day with the break of dawn
I woke up in an empty bed
And found that she was gone
I hear her laughing in the rain
Even the wind echoes her name
With all the loneliness and pain
She left behind
Let the darkness find its place
Let the shadows hide my face
So the moon won't see me crying
Evangeline
Walking down this railroad track
Moving forward, looking back
Warm sweet kisses haunting me
Torturing my memory
Visions that I can't resist
Vanish like the morning mist
Down country lane and city street
Just ahead, just behind, just beyond my reach
I hear her laughing in the rain
Even the wind echoes her name
With all the loneliness and pain
She left behind
Let the darkness find its place
Let the shadows hide my face
So the moon won't see me crying
Evangeline
So the moon won't see me crying
Evangeline
