"We?e gonna try a song we never played before... uh, we put
|
together kinda for the occasion. It? 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
|
|
(Robbie & Richard:)

|
The last of November
|
Leaves on the ground
|
It's hard to remember
|
What city, what town (what town)
|
So many roads
|
Mothered (?) in stone
|
Surrounded by bones
|
It feels so alone
|
|
The last waltz, the last waltz
|
The last waltz with you
|
Don? mean the last dance is over
|
The last waltz, the last waltz
|
The last waltz was through
|
