Way down in the meadow
Where the lily first blows
Where the wind from the mountain
Never ruffles the rose
Lives fond Evelina
The sweet little dove
The child of the valley
The girl that I love
Dear Evelina sweet 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
She never was known
To put paint on her cheek
In those grace curls
Hangs her raven black hai
And she never was need perfumery there
Dear Evelina sweet Evelina
My love for thee will never never die
Dear Evelina sweet Evelina
My love for you will never never die
Three years have gone by
And I've not got a dollar
Evelina still grancing in that green vacy holler
Although I am fated to marry her never
I swore that I'll love her for ever and never gone
Dear Evelina sweet Evelina
My love for thee will never never die
Dear Evelina sweet Evelina
My love for you will never never die
