She's been here working
all summer long
Pumping gas for their boats
on a code of law
And she's so proud from
being in the sun all day
And boys from town
hang around at Papa's place
And they all say, hey,
you can see her down at the boat dock
Walking up the pier in her flip -flops
Tying up the lines in her tank top
Dippin' like a babe at the bake shop
Oh, everybody around
Will love to say that girl's mine
Summer's gonna end, I know
Oh, we're gonna miss you so
Wish you didn't have to go
Even July
It won't be long,
she'll be goin' back to school
While goin' home,
all the way to Baton Rouge
While her papa says he'll get
along the best he can
And all the boys would be so
brokenhearted then
Well, if summer again,
then you can see her down
at the boat dock
Walking up the pier in her flip -flops
Signing up the lines in her tank top
Dippin' that debate at the bait shop
Oh, every boy around will love to say
That girl's mine
Summer's gonna end, I know
Oh, we're gonna miss you so
Wish you didn't have to go
Evangeline
And every boy around
will love to say that girl's mine
Summer's gone and I know,
oh we're gonna miss you so
Wish you didn't have to go, Evangeline
Girl, I'm gonna miss you so, Evangeline
