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 cant 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
