Sammy Kershaw - Evangeline Lyrics

She's been here working all summer long
Pumping gas for the boats on the Cole Blanche
She's so brown from being 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
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're gonna miss you so
Wish you didn't have to go
Evangeline

It won't be long, she'll be going back to school
Going home, all the way to Baton Rouge
While her Pa Paw say's he'll get along the best he can
And all the boys will be broken hearted 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're gonna miss you so
Wish you didn't have to go
Evangeline

Every boy around would love to say that girl's mine
Summer's gonna end, I know,
Oh, we're gonna miss you so
Wish you didn't have to go
Evangeline

Girl, I'm gonna miss you so
Evangeline
