EVANGELINE When English ships set sail, to Acadia, An exiled nation, on our wedding day Well I swore then I’d find you someplace Oh, oh, along the way Chorus 1 Oh, oh Evangeline Oh - Oh – Oh, Evangeline Your Gabriel You’ll see once more Oh - oh, Evangeline Chorus 2 Oh, oh Evangeline Oh - Oh – Oh, Evangeline Full of grace, full of grace Full of grace, full of grace Oh – oh, Evangeline I’ll be there will you wait for me? From the Ozarks up to Maine From the Eden of Louisiana Do you hear me call your name But her body barely breaks In Nova Scotia, oh Grand-Pre Fair was she, just seventeen. And her eyes were black and her breath was sweet. Yeah, there shone the face of Evangeline I’ll be there If you wait for me From the Ozarks up to Maine From the prairie’s out, to the ocean Do you hear me call your name But do you know what I’ve become Do you know what I’ve become? When we return, yeah To Canada Oh,- oh, it will be our, wedding day And the years we’ll find have never aged us Acadie, all the way I’ll be there will you wait for me From the Ozarks up to Maine A ship wrecked nation Out on the waters We will swim against the tide Though our body breaks inside You’re a soul shaker And a, heart breaker

The Ghosts of New Orleans Oh New Orleans Star of the South Cut from a cloth Some men despise All of my days I will sing of your praise Down in the depths The ghosts of New Orleans Here in my bed Cities on fire Waters arise Cover my legs All of my days I will sing of your praise Down in the depths The ghosts of New Orleans Chorus La la..... Arret, arret. Arret de mer. Mon Dieu etc Pitié, Pitié Pitié pour moi Mon Dieu Veuillez, Veuillez, Veuillez, m'aider Mon Dieu Came from the south Covered the 9th Before moving north Took many lives Grande Ouragan Where'd you come from, where you gone? One more shot at life boy One more shot at life Tempete de vent Un coup der mer Hold on Maman, hold on Papa All of my days I will sing of your praise Down in the depths The ghosts of New Orleans

about
