Hey you can see here down at the boondocks
D                                       G
Walkin’ up the pier in her flip flops

Tyin’ up the lines in her tank top

Dippin’ out the bait at the bait shop

But summer’s gonna end I know
D
Oh we gonna miss you so
D                                                         G
Wish you didn’t have to go… Evangeline

It won’t be long
She’ll be goin’ back to school
Goin’ home
All the way to Baton Rouge
Well her pa-paw
Says he’ll get along the best he can
And all the boys
Will be so broken hearted then (‘til it’s summer again)

Hey you can see here down at the boondocks
Walkin’ up the pier in her flip flops
Tyin’ up the lines in her tank top
Dippin’ out the bait at the bait shop
Well every boy around would love to say that girl’s mine
But summer’s gonna end I know
Oh we gonna miss you so
Wish you didn’t have to go… Evangeline

Well every boy around would love to say that girl’s mine
But summer’s gonna end I know
Oh we gonna miss you so
Wish you didn’t have to go… Evangeline
Girl I’m gonna miss you so… Evangeline
