[Chorus]
Evangeline (Evangeline)
She's on her own (She's on her own)
Just barely seventeen (Just seventeen)
When she left home (Since she left home)
Don't know where she's been (Don't know where she's been)
Or where she's going (Or where she's going)
She is the queen of make-believe
Evangeline

[Verse 1]
I still remember
That little girl
Black eyes just staring
At the mean old world
Went off to find
Some American dream
Train ticket in the pocket
In her new blue jeans

[Chorus]
Evangeline (Evangeline)
She's on her own (She's on her own)
Just barely seventeen (Just seventeen)
When she left home (Since she left home)
Don't know where she's been (Don't know where she's been)
Or where she's going (Or where she's going)
She is the queen of make-believe
Evangeline

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 2]
Sunday morning
She's on the town
She's very classy
Nothing wild and running wild
On Monday morning
She's all alone
Sitting up there
By the telephone

[Chorus]
Evangeline (Evangeline)
She's on her own (She's on her own)
Just barely seventeen (Just seventeen)
When she left home (Since she left home)
Don't know where she's been (Don't know where she's been)
Or where she's going (Or where she's going)
She is the queen of make-believe
Evangeline
Evangeline (Evangeline)
She's on her own (She's on her own)
Just barely seventeen (Just seventeen)
When she left home (Since she left home)
Don't know where she's been (Don't know where she's been)
Or where she's going (Or where she's going)
She is the queen of make-believe
Evangeline

[Outro]
She is the queen of make-believe
Evangeline
