Yeah, yeah
In the evening, in the evening
Mama, when the sun goes down
In the evening
Mama, when the sun goes down, yeah, yeah
Ain't it lonesome, ain't it lonesome
If your love was not around
When the sun goes down, yes, yes
Last night I was sleeping, I was thinking to myself
Last night I lay a-sleeping, I was thinking to myself
Well, I was wondering why the one you love
Mistreats you for somebody else
When the sun goes down, take it, bass
Yes, yeah
Got the blues again
The sun rises in the east
All day long, it gives the light
Sun rises in the east, babe
All day long, it gives the light
Ain't it hard to tell, hard to tell
Which woman'll treat you right
When the sun goes down
Goodbye, old sweethearts and friends
Yes, I'm going away
But I'll be back to see you again
Some old rainy day
In the evening, in the evening
When I leave this town
When the sun goes down
Oh, memories, oh, memories
Oh, memories, oh, memories
Oh, memories, oh, memories
Oh, memories, oh, memories
Oh, memories, oh, memories
Oh, memories, oh, memories
Yes, yeah
I'm going away
But I ain't gonna be here long
I'll be back some stormy day
