Got me a girl in acadia my evangeline
But I ain't seen her face in three long years
Since I sailed away to sea
She comes to me at night when I'm dreaming
Long hair blowin' in the breeze
And what feels like the warm embrace of her arms
Is really just the rolling of the seas

So carry me away boys, carry me away
Carry me to my home
'Cause I long for the girl with
The sun in her eyes
Evangeline, I'm coming home

So get ready, get set
And here we go
We'll sail away to pubnico
Where the women are warm when the cold
Wind blows
We'll sail away to pubnico

Now she stands on the shore so sweetly
Eyes cast out to the sea
And the tears that she cries
Fall like rain from the skies
I can taste them at the bottom of the sea
Oh evangeline, please don't wait for me
I'm never coming home, evangeline
