lyrics

Evangeline,
Damn redcoats have taken ma Cherie from me
While I was away, you put out to sea.
But I'll always remember Evangeline.

Through the Port of Halifax,
Due East for a land that we never knew
The land of your father and my father too
Even though the fleur de lis meant nothing to you

Now two years have passed since you sailed away
and in that time I've loved and lost
but nothing has helped me to forget the day
when they forced you to leave la belle Acadie

Word came on a ship
That you were coming back to the colonies
but you were heading south with your family
and you wondered if I'd meet you in New Orleans

Evangeline,
I hope that this letter finds you ahead of me
of course I'll come meet you my darling
by the banks of the great Mississippi
