In the evening, in the evening, baby, when the sun goes down, 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 asleep in, I was thinking to myself, last night, I lay asleep in, I was thinking to myself. Well, I thought he loved me, but he 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, baby, sets down in the west. Lord, ain't it hard, ain't it hard to tell, which one will treat you the best, when the sun goes down. Goodbye, my sweet loving baby, you know I'm gone away. Be back to see you, some old rainy day. Well, in the evening, in the evening, when the sun goes down, I'll be back to see you, baby, when the sun goes down.
