Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Evangeline From: mg Date: 01 May 10 - 01:46 AM There was one they sang in Maine about Evangaline but it was somewhat irreverant..it went on about gas stations and taverns and all sorts of places named after her..but it was really cute. Anyway, it is really good to read the original very long poem. It is very sad indeed. mg |
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Evangeline From: GUEST,Peter Sumner Date: 01 May 10 - 01:03 AM 'It's feeling like a wasted night, The piano's dead, the drummer's tight'..... This is the start of a song I have on the live recording of Stan Rogers at Bermuda Folk Club in 1978.... The recording is not commercially available... Stan comments before the song that it 'is a metaphor for Nova Scotia'....and is called Evangeline... I don't have the part of the tape that mentions the composer... Hope this doesn't confuse the issue...! Pete |

Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Evangeline From: Steve Latimer Date: 28 Feb 02 - 11:12 AM Joe, Thanks for posting the Robbie Robertson song. The first time I ever heard Emmylou was doing this song in The Last Waltz. Her voice truly sent a chill down my spine, I will always remember that moment. I've since got a lot of her CD's. And Levon Helm is one of my favourite singers, the combination of those two singing this song with the rest of The Band harmonizing was magical. Apparently due to throat cancer Levon can't sing anymore. What a loss. |
Subject: Lyr Add: EVANGELINE (Jamie Snider) From: Jim Dixon Date: 28 Feb 02 - 09:52 AM Lyrics found at the web site for some role-playing game. Sorry, I can't help you with the chords.
EVANGELINE
Standing on the shore looking so serene
The pool hall heroes all heave a sigh
CHORUS: All around the world I'm bound to roam
I first fell in love with her at age fourteen
I'm goin' on the highway, goin' by air
I'll sing no more - till I get back home

Subject: Evangeline From: GUEST,JB Michaels Date: 25 Feb 02 - 07:24 AM I've been looking for the full set of lyrics to Evangeline. There are many different songs of the same name, but this is the one that begins V She stands on the banks of the mighty Mississippi Alone in the pale moonlight Waiting for a man, a riverboat gambler Who said that he'd return tonight... CHO Evangeline, Evangeline Curses the soul of the Mississippi queen, Who took her man away.
I'm halfway there, and just need a bit of help. |
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Evangeline From: rippythegator@hotmail.com Date: 04 Oct 99 - 07:02 PM Thanks for the help so far, but we haven't hit the right song yet. I have my John Allan Cameron CD that the song appears on, and it was written by Jamie Snider. Anyhow, the lyrics go a bit like this: 1st verse:
Standing on the shore looking so serene 2nd verse:
Pool hall heroes all heave a sigh
Chorus: There's another couple of verses etc., but I have no clue about the chord structure to it. Any ideas? Thanks for the help so far! |

Subject: Lyr Add: EVANGELINA (Hoyt Axton) From: Joe Offer Date: 04 Oct 99 - 04:26 PM I found the Hoyt Axton song through the Official Hoyd Axton Web Page. The "Evangeline" that was recorded by Emmylou Harris, was written by Robbie Robertson - Click here to view it at Cowpie. Click here for one more "Evangeline," this one written by Bob McDill and Carson Chamberlain and recorded by Chad Brock. -Joe Offer- Evangelina (by Hoyt Axton and K Higginbotham) I dream in the morning That she brings me water And I dream in evening That she brings me wine Just a poor man's daughter From Puerto Penasco Evangelina in old Mexico There's a great hot desert South of Mexicali And if you don't have water Then you better not go Tequila won't get you Across the desert To Evangelina in old Mexico And the fire I feel for the Woman I love Is driving me insane Knowing she's waiting And I just can't get there Lord only knows that I've Racked my brain To try and find a way To see that woman in old Mexico I met a kind man Who guarded the border He said you don't have papers But I'll let you go I can tell that you love her By the look in your eyes now She's the rose of the desert In old Mexico And the fire I feel for the Woman I love Is driving me insane Knowing she's waiting And I just can't get there Lord only knows that I've Racked my brain To try and find a way To see that woman in old Mexico And I dream in the morning That she brings me water And I dream in the evening That she brings me wine Just a poor man's daughter From Puerto Penasco Evangelina in old Mexico There's a great hot desert South of Mexicali And if you don't have water Then you better not go Tequila won't get you Across the desert To Evangelina in old Mexico She's the rose of the desert In old Mexico ©1976 Lady Jane Music (TRO) |

Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Evangeline From: Steve Latimer Date: 04 Oct 99 - 10:54 AM The only Evangeline that I know was performed by Emmy Lou Harris with The Band on the Last Waltz CD. Can't remember much of it, but the opening line was She used to stand on the Banks of the Mighty Mississippi (another line) Waiting for her man, a riverboat gambler, Said that he'd be home tonight Part of the chorus goes Evengeline, Evangeline, cursed is the soul of the Missippi Queen. Sound at all familiar? If so, I believe the lyrics are printed in the Liner notes of The Last Waltz.

Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Evangeline From: Stewie Date: 04 Oct 99 - 12:46 AM Yes, the Axton one sprang to mind for me as well. Also, James McMurtry has a song called 'Angeline' on his 'Two Long in the Wasteland' album. |
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Evangeline From: katlaughing Date: 03 Oct 99 - 11:23 PM I did find Hoyt Axton's lyrics for Evangelina, at another site. Is that the one you are looking for? |
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Evangeline From: WyoWoman Date: 03 Oct 99 - 11:14 PM I checked in the DigiTrad and didn't see anything. Do you know any of the lyrics at all? WW |
Subject: Evangeline From: rippythegator@hotmail.com Date: 03 Oct 99 - 06:06 PM Hi, I'm wondering if anyone knows anything about this song. I think the name of the writer was Tom/Terry Kelly, and I know that John Allan Cameron recorded a version on his "Glencoe Station" album. I'd really like to get the guitar chords for it too! Thanks!
