Dear Evangeline

Dear Evangeline, How have you been? It’s been so long since I’ve seen your face And I wish to see it again I know you said you couldn’t be with me, My evil ways, and this life of sin But after this last train I swear I’ll never ride again I’ve been thinkin’ on how we always talked about All those many moons ago Havin’ that dog, three kids, and a big house Out in those Wintering Hills And do you remember that day We promised we’d love each other forever Well I intend to keep my word And again, we will soon be together So start counting down the days For I will return To once again hold you in my arms And wash away all your concerns My dear Evangeline, The love of my life I wish to ask you in three days time Will you be my wife Love, Billy On that third morning, he’d light himself up a cigarette Open the door to his new day And there stood, in all his glory Was the U.S. Marshall To take all of Billy’s pain away Evangeline, don’t waste your time Move on to love another Don’t worry about mine Evangeline, I love you so But the day has come We must let go Dear Evangeline, How have you been It’s been so long since I’ve seen your face And I wish to see it once again
