When The Sun Goes Down - Leroy Carr, Carr, Leroy

In the evening, mama

When the sun goes down

In the evening, baby

When the sun goes down

Well, ain’t it lonesome

Ain’t it lonesome, babe

When your love is not around?

When the sun goes down

Last night, I laid a-sleeping

I was thinking to myself

Last night, I laid a-sleeping

I was thinking to myself

Well, what I been thinking

Is why that the one that you love

Will mistreat you for someone else?

When the sun goes down

The sun rises in the east

An it sets up in the west

The sun rises in the east, mama

An it set’s in the west

Well, it’s hard to tell, hard to tell

Which one will treat you the best

When the sun goes down

'Yea-ah'

'Ooo-ee, hoo-wee'

'Yea-ah'

'Hee, hoo-oh'

'Yea-hi'

'Hoo, hoo-eee'

Good-bye old sweetheart and pals

Yes, I’m going away

But I may be back to see you again

Some old rainy day

Well, in the evening, in the evening

When the sun goes down

When the sun goes down
