When the Sun Goes Down

In the evening, in the evening, mama When the sun goes down In the evening, baby When the sun goes down Well, ain't it lonesome Ain't it lonesome, babe When your lover's not around? When the sun goes down Last night, I laid a-sleeping I was thinking to myself Last night, I laid a-sleeping I was thinking to myself Well, wondering and thinking Why the one that you love Would mistreat you for someone else? When the sun goes down The sun rises in the east An' it sets up in the west The sun rises in the east, mama An' it sets in the west Well, it's hard to tell, hard to tell Which one will treat you the best When the sun goes down 'Yea-ah' 'Ooo-ee, hoo-wee' 'Yea-ah' 'Hee, hoo-oh' 'Yea-hi' 'Hoo, hoo-eee' Goodbye old sweethearts and pals Yes, I'm going away But I may be back to see you again Some old rainy day Well, in the evening, in the evening, babe When the sun goes down When the sun goes down
