I am the seed of Adam and Eve
That apple didn't fall too far from the tree
Well I stole Eve's hand and we ran behind some bushes
To try a more original sin
I said I think I love you Eve, she said call me Evelyn
I said I think I love you Eve, she said call me Evelyn
CHORUS
And I said come on baby why you want to wait
Why don't we start this whole thing over again
Come on baby why you want to wait
You know we can start this whole thing over again
These days she loves it when I call her Evelyn
We were short on rent and got cast out by the landlord
But that don't seem to phase Evelyn
I found an empty boxcar and I pulled her on board
We'd get south before the winter set in
She runs her fingers over the letters that I carved in
These days she loves it when I call her Evelyn
CHORUS
We got off in what was Jackson next to Charlie's Bar
And I convinced Charlie to let me play
He couldn't pay us no money but he had a place upstairs
Where he let me and Evelyn stay
We like it fine but talk all the time about leaving again
Maybe settling down somewhere like France or Ireland
CHORUS
We'll find a run down shack on a small piece of land
And I'll work on the house while you make us our own garden
