In the evening

In the evening

Mama when the sun go down

In the evening darling

I declare when the sun go down

Yeah it's so lonesome it's so lonesome

I declare when the one you love is not around

When the sun go down



Last night I were layin' sleepin'

And I declare I was sleepin' all by myself

Last night I were layin' sleepin' darling

And I declare I was sleepin' all by myself

Yeah but the one, the one that I was really in love with

I declare she was sleepin' someplace else

When the sun go down



Yeah, ooh ooh ooh wee

Yeah, ooh ooh ooh wee

Yes the one that I was in love with

I declare she was sleepin' someplace else

When the sun go down



The sun rises in the East

And I declare it sets way over in the West

Sun rises in the East darling

And I declare it sets way over in the West

Yes it's so hard, it's so hard to tell

I declare which one that'll treat you the best

When the sun go down



Now goodbye, old sweethearts and pals

Yes I declare I'm goin' away

I may be back to see you again

Little girl some old rainy day

Yes in the evening in the evening

I declare when the sun go down

When the sun go down
