In The Evening - Robert Petway - Big Joe Williams

In the ev’nin, baby

Oh Lord, when the sun go down

'Yes, yes, you know I ain’t wrong'

In the ev’nin, baby

Oh Lord, when the ev’nin sun goin' down

'We gon' sho' *Tom, take us time'

'You know we gonna do, hear me partner'

Carryin' ev’nin on, look partner

Well, we sho' gonna take our time

This man forgot me last night

Picked me up this mo’nin so soon

'I'm talkin' 'bout the man look good at me, now'

He forgot me last night

He picked me up this mo’nin so soon

Well, he told me 'Look out, man

Somebody sho' gonna have your room'

Look-a-here now, little woman

Anything I want, I can for you

Said, look-a-here my little woman

Anything in the world, I can for you

When the sun go down now, partner

H’oh babe, what in the world you wanna do?

Don’t the sun

Lonesome when she go down?

Don’t the sun, now partner

Lonesome when she go down?

Said, look-a-here, now black man

He don’t even 'llow me 'round

H’oh well, baby

Wanna make ev’rything all right

H’oh well, baby

Make ev’rything all right

Goin' to be now, sweet mama

Wear your wig tomorrow night
