In the evening in the evening
Baby when the sun goes down
In the evening in the evening
Baby when the sun goes down
Oh ain't it lonesome ain't it lonesome
When your lover can't be found
When the sun goes down

Last night I lay a-sleeping
Thinking to myself
Last night I lay a-sleeping
Thinking to myself
Well I thought she loved me
Found she loved somebody else
When the sun went down

Well the sun rises in the east
Sets down in the west
Well the sun rises in the east
Sets down in the west
Lord ain't it hard to tell hard to tell
Which one will treat you the best
When the sun goes down

Goodbye my sweet and loving baby
You know I'm going away
Be back to see you
Some old rainy day
Well in the evening in the evening
When that ruby sun goes down
When the sun goes down
