Capo 2nd fret

Standard (EADGBE)

She’s been here Workin’ all summer long

Pumpin’ gas For the boats on the Caux de Blanche

She’s so brown from bein’ in the sun all day

 And boys from town Hang around her pa-paw’s place (and they all say)

 Hey you can see here down at the boondocks

Walkin’ up the pier in her flip flops

Tyin’ up the lines in her tank top

Dippin’ out the bait at the bait shop

 Well every boy around would love to say that girl’s mine

 But summer’s gonna end I know

Oh we gonna miss you so

Wish you didn’t have to go

Evangeline

It won’t be long

She’ll be goin’ back to school

Goin’ home

All the way to Baton Rouge

Well her pa-paw

Says he’ll get along the best he can

And all the boys

Will be so broken hearted then (‘til it’s summer again)

Hey you can see here down at the boondocks

Walkin’ up the pier in her flip flops

Tyin’ up the lines in her tank top

Dippin’ out the bait at the bait shop

Well every boy around would love to say that girl’s mine

But summer’s gonna end I know

Oh we gonna miss you so

Wish you didn’t have to go… Evangeline

Break

Well every boy around would love to say that girl’s mine

But summer’s gonna end I know

Oh we gonna miss you so

Wish you didn’t have to go… Evangeline

Girl I’m gonna miss you so… Evangeline
