When your good gal done quit ya

And the sun is going down

You sit down in your swing

And then you're gonna sing

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

'wail ya's

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.
