about

this song is a response to "Evangeline" by Robbie Robertson

lyrics

I stood on a cliff looking over the river,
I watched that ship sinking just like the sun.
You could hear the silence after the thunder Louder than the Sound,
And I felt myself losing my mind as I watched
The man that I love slowly drown.

Oh wide Mississippi you’re muddy and mean,
The heart that you took, it was wild, it was mine.
When he’d cast the dice at the tables, his blood it would sing,
And he told me that when he’d win a hand
He’d save some of it to buy me a ring.

Oh I curse you with all the fire in my blood,
I curse you standing here in lightning and rain.
You could hear the silence after the thunder louder than the sound,
And I felt myself losing my mind as I watched
The man that I love slowly drown.
