In the evening, mama When the sun goes down In the evening, baby When the sun goes down Well, ain't it lonesome Ain't it lonesome, babe When your love is not around? When the sun goes down
Last night, I laid a-sleeping I was thinking to myself Last night, I laid a-sleeping I was thinking to myself Well, what I been thinking Is why that the one that you love Will mistreat you for someone else? When the sun goes down
The sun rises in the east An it sets up in the west The sun rises in the east, mama An it set's in the west Well, it's hard to tell, hard to tell Which one will treat you the best When the sun goes down
Good-bye old sweetheart and pals Yes, I'm going away But I may be back to see you again Some old rainy day Well, in the evening, in the evening When the sun goes down When the sun goes down
