Evangeline Songtext
von Mr. Blotto

Down in southern Louisiana
There′s a place I find
Called Evangeline Parish
That's where I′m bound, mm

Oh, I sit down with the choir
And I hear 'em testify
And I'm never get no higher
And you know I′ve been high, yes, I have

That′s where they're washing the blood of the Lamb
And they live off the flesh of the Lamb
And I′ll no more walk in sorrow
'Cause I have a place to be
And I will make it home eventually


I′ve never been accused of possessing social grace
I kinda call things the way they are
Now that I've made my peace with the human race
Promised land never seems so far

I was born a liar
And truth that served me well
I could always find a buyer for what I had to sell
And all the sorrow that I brought on
People, people, I don′t even know
It's now a weight upon my shoulders
Cold chains from head to toe, oh

Where they're washin′ the blood of the Lamb
And they live off the faith of the Lamb
And I′ll no more walk in sorrow
'Cause I have a place to be
And I will make it home eventually
Eventually
