(bob mcdill/carson chamberlain)



She's been here working all summer long

Pumpin' gas for the boats on the cote blanche

She's so brown, from being in the sun all day

The boys from town, hang around her pa-paw'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

Dipping out the bait at the bait shop

Every boy around would love to say, "that girl's mine"

Summer's gonna end i know

Oh, we gonna miss you so

Wish you didn't have to go, evangeline



Won't be long, she'll be going back to school

Going home, all the way to baton rouge

Her pa-paw says he'll get along the best he can

And all the boys will be so brokenhearted then

'til it's summer again



Then 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

Dipping out the bait at the bait shop

Every boy around would love to say, "that girl's mine"

Summer's gonna end i know

Oh, we gonna miss you so

Wish you didn't have to go, evangeline

Oh, we gonna miss you so

Wish you didn't have to go, evangeline

Wish you didn't have to go, evangeline
