about

Evangeline is directly inspired by the poem of the the same name by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow.

lyrics

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
