Letra da Música: The Last Waltz - Band

(robbie:)
"were gonna try a song we never played before... uh, we put
Together kinda for the occasion. its called 'the last waltz.'"

(rick:)
She stands on the banks of the mighty mississippi
Holding a lantern light
Waitin' for a man who's a riverboat gambler
He said he'd return tonight

(levon:)
They used to waltz on the banks of the mighty mississippi
[unintelligible; doesn't sound like "loving"] the whole night through
The riverboat gambler went off to make a killin'
And bring it on back to you

Evangeline, evangeline, curses the soul of the mississippi queen
That pulled her man away

(rick:)
Now, bayou sam from south lousianne
Had gamblin' in his veins
And mama moo (??) who loves only you
Why do ya cause her such pain?

(levon:)
She went to the top of hickory hill
Stand in the lightnin' and thunder
Riverboat, it was sinkin
She watched that boat go under

Evangeline, evangeline, curses the soul of the mississippi queen
That pulled her man away
