[Chorus]
Evangeline (Evangeline)
She's on her own (She's on her own)
Just barely seventeen (Just seventeen)
When she left home (When 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 remеmber
This little girl
Black eyеs just 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 (When 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
Might be drinking in a pair
Looking fine and running wild
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'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 (When 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
