"Were gonna try a song we never played before... uh, we put

together kinda for the occasion. Its called 'The Last Waltz.'"



(Rick:)

She stands on the banks of the mighty Mississippi

Holding a lantern light

Waitin' for a man who's a riverboat gambler

He said he'd return tonight



(Levon:)

They used to waltz on the banks of the mighty Mississippi

[Unintelligible; doesn't sound like "Loving"] the whole night through

The riverboat gambler went off to make a killin'

And bring it on back to you



Evangeline, Evangeline, curses the soul of the Mississippi Queen

That pulled her man away



(Rick:)

Now, Bayou Sam from South Lousianne

Had gamblin' in his veins

And Mama Moo (??) who loves only you

Why do ya cause her such pain?



(Levon:)

She went to the top of Hickory Hill

Stand in the lightnin' and thunder

Riverboat, it was sinkin

She watched that boat go under



Evangeline, Evangeline, curses the soul of the Mississippi Queen

That pulled her man away
