Way down in the meadow where the lily first blows
Where the wind from the mountains ne'er ruffles the rose
Lives fond Evelina, the sweet little dove
The pride of the valley, the girl that I love
Sweet Evelina, dear Evelina
My love for thee will never, never die
Dear Evelina, sweet Evelina
My love for thee will never, never die
She's fair as a rose, like a lamb she is meek
And she never was known to put paint on her cheek
In the most graceful curls hangs her raven black hair
And she never requires perfumery there
Sweet Evelina, dear Evelina
My love for thee will never, never die
Dear Evelina, sweet Evelina
My love for thee will never, never die
Evelina and I, one fond evening in June
Took a walk all alone by the light of the moon
The planets all shone, for the heavens were clear
And I felt round the heart, oh! most mightily queer
Sweet Evelina, dear Evelina
My love for thee will never, never die
Dear Evelina, sweet Evelina
My love for thee will never, never die
♪
Three years have now passed and I've not got a dollar
Evelina still lives in that green grassy holler
Although I am fated to marry her never
I'll love her for sure, forever and ever
Sweet Evelina, dear Evelina
My love for thee will never, never die
Dear Evelina, sweet Evelina
My love for thee will never, never die
Sweet Evelina, dear Evelina
My love for thee will never, never die
Dear Evelina, sweet Evelina
My love for thee will never, never die
