[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 is (Don't know where she is)
Or where she's going (Or where she's going)
She is the queen of make-believe
Evangeline

[Verse 1]
I still remеmber
This little girl
Black eyеs staring
At this 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 is (Don't know where she is)
Or where she's going (Or where she's going)
She is the queen of make-believe
Evangeline
[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 2]
On a Saturday night evening
She's on the town
She's wearing stockings
Going wild and on the prowl
On Sunday morning
She's all alone
Head lying on the back stair
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 is (Don't know where she is)
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
