El Mule - Dear Evangeline Lyrics

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
