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 sometimes
I declare when the one you love is not around
When the sun go down
Last night I were laying sleeping
I declare I was sleeping all by myself
Last night I were laying sleeping darling
And I declare it was all by myself
Yeah but the one that I was really in love with
I declare she was sleeping some place else
When the sun go down
And I just suddenly I wanted baby
Everybody could have a good time before me
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
So goodbye old sweethearts and pals
Yes I declare I'm going 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
