In the ev'nin'



Mama, when the sun goes down



In the ev'nin'



Mama, when the sun goes down



Well, ain't it lonesome, ain't it lonesome



The one you love she's not around



When the sun go down



Sun rise in the East



And it goes down in the West



Sun rise in the East



And it goes down in the West



Well, it's hard to tell, hard to tell



Which one will treat you the best



When the sun go down



Last night I lay asleepin'



I was thinkin' on to myself



Last night I lay asleepin'



I was thinkin' on to myself



Well the girl I love mistreated me



She mistreated me for someone else



When the sun go down



Now good bye old sweethearts and pals



Yes, I'm goin' away



But I may be back to see you, girl



Some old rainy day



Well in the ev'nin', in the ev'nin',



Mama when the sun go down
