In the evening at sundown is when I start to cry

When the sweet mem'ries of you keep drifting by

I'm alone and forsaken you've torn me apart

For the way that your're living is breaking my heart

I can't go on living your too wicked ways

Many times I have prayed Lord take me away

That's why in the evening we seem so far apart

For the way that your're living is breaking my heart

[ steel ]

Night after night I cry myself to sleep

While you are cheatin' like a tramp on the street

My head now is bowed you've torn me apart 

For the way that your're living is breaking my heart

There's a new day tomorrow but I can't plainly see

There'll be no sunshine for you and for me

T'would be better for us both to go ahead and part

For the way that your're living is breaking my heart
