I hate to see evenin' sun go down

I hate to see evenin' sun go down

Cause it makes me think, I'm on my last go-round



Some people take the blues, go jump overboard and drown

Some people take the blues, go jump overboard and drown

But when they gets on me, I'd rather stay 'n go sit down



I been to the river, looked it up and down

I been to the river, looked it up and down

But when my mind never let me, to jump overboard and drown



Oh take it away now...

Yes I know...

Play it mister Charlie...

While I'm lookin' at you...



Every time I go, across that old muddy pond

Every time I go, across that old muddy pond

I think about my baby, and come easin' on back home



Everybody try to show me, how to ease my troublin' mind

Everybody try to show me, how to ease my troublin' mind

When the big boat come along, to just jump on in behind
