Jim Caroll - Evangeline Lyrics

By jim carroll and wayne woods



Evangeline

My first lady,

She wears satin gloves

Since her hands got dirty

She travels here

She travels there . . .

Shes on the "a" list

Everywhere



I cant take it anymore

If she calls back,

Tell her I went uptown to the downtown store



Evangeline

With her lips like curtains,

But you best know

And its for certain



With all her monies

You and I got none

Shes got a satin pillow

Covering her pearly gun



I cant take it anymore

If she calls back,

Tell her I went down to the liquor store



Refrain

Shes a diver

And the ladders getting taller

Shes a diver

And the pool is getting smaller

If she takes one more step higher

Then the water will turn to fire



All our monies was all that held her

She should learn to respect her elders



Her boys grab your hands

Her boys lift your feet



Lord, my whole building is out in the street



I cant take it anymore

If she calls back,

Tell her I went uptown to the downtown store



(repeat refrain)
