I'm guessing this is the song Rippy requested.

EVANGELINE
(written by Robbie Robertson)

  Eb
  She stands on the banks of the mighty Mississippi
                    Bb
  Alone in the pale moonlight
  Bb
  Waitin' for a man, a riverboat gambler
                        Eb
  Said that he'd return tonight
  
  They used to waltz on the banks of the mighty Mississippi
                         Bb
  Lovin' the whole night through
  Bb
  He was a riverboat gambler off to make a killin'
                          Eb
  And bring it on back to you
  Ab         Eb
  Evangeline Evangeline
  Bb                     Eb
  Curses the soul of the Mississippi Queen
       Bb             Eb
  That pulled her man away
  
  SOLO
  
  Eb
  Bayou Sam from South Louisian'
                      Bb
  Had gamblin' in his veins
  
  Evangeline from the maritime
                   Eb
  Was slowly goin' insane
  
  High on the top of a Hickory Hill
                                   Bb
  She stands in the lightning and thunder
  
  Down on the river the boat was a sinkin'
                            Eb
  She watched that Queen go under
  Ab         Eb
  Evangeline Evangeline
  Bb                     Eb
  Curses the soul of the Mississippi Queen
       Bb             Eb
  That pulled her man away
  Ab         Eb
  Evangeline Evangeline
  Bb                     Eb
  Curses the soul of the Mississippi Queen
       Bb             Eb
  That pulled her man away
