[Verse] 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
