In the evening, in the evening, Mama, when the sun go down In the evening, baby, Mama, when the sun go down Ain't it lonesome, ain't it lonesome, darlin'? When your lover's not around when the sun go down Last night I layed a-sleepin' I was thinkin' to myself Last night I layed a-sleepin' I was thinkin' to myself Don't know why I love my baby And she mistreats me for someone else When the sun go down Sunrise in the east And it sets up in the wind Yes, the sunrise in the east, baby And it sets up in the wind Well, it's hard to tell, hard to tell Which one I love the best
