A cajun song named "Evangeline" includes the lines,

"Bajou Sam from South Lous-i-anne had gam-bol-ing (gambling) in his veins; Evangeline, from the Maritime, slowly going insane. She stands on the top of a hick-o-ry hill, alone in the lightning and thunder, while down on the river, the boat was a-sinking. She watched the Queen go under."
