An ocean town

The kind where you’re known around

And everyone heard 

What your sister said last night

In the days before

I was standing outside your door

Hoping there’s way 

To make this turn out right

Evangeline, Evangeline

Either bring the water

Or the gasoline

Pay no mind

To all you’ve seen

Please bring the water

Evangeline

Those tales we’d tell

Standing ‘round by the wishing well

With one more penny

Then it’s all just riding on the dime

Soft and low 

How I loved it when you told me so

But words don’t matter

When you’re running short on time

Evangeline, Evangeline

Either bring the water

Or the gasoline

Pay no mind

To all you’ve seen

Please bring the water

Evangeline

All the people in their places

They pass the time with honest faces

The morning bird

Had me hanging on to every word

But not a tear before she flew away

We loved the same

But that picture never found a frame

Now I’m aching baby

And begging you to stay

Evangeline, Evangeline

Either bring the water

Or the gasoline

Pay no mind

To all you’ve seen

Please bring the water

Evangeline
