In the evening, in the evening Baby, when the sun goes down In the evening, baby when the sun goes down Well, ain't it lonesome, man ain't happy, Sonny Boy When your love is not around Oh, when the sun goes down Last night I laid sleeping I was thinking to myself Last night I lay there sleepin' I was thinkin' to myself Thinkin 'bout the one that we loved best, gone Mistreat you for somebody else Oh, when the sun goes down Sun rises in the east It sets in the west Sun rising east, Sonny Boy Said take me in the west Well, ain't it hard to tell, your heart to *car' Which ones that will fit you the best Oh, when the sun goes down Woo, hittin' me Oh, ooh, oh Hoo, hittin' you Love, is cold, Sonny Hoo, gettin' mean Lordy! Goodbye, my old sweetheart Where have you been? Yeah, just went away I may be back there, see you again Some rainy day Well, in the ev'nin, in the ev'nin, baby Honey, when the sun goes down Oh, when the sun goes down.
