In the ev'nin' Mama, when the sun goes down In the ev'nin' Mama, when the sun goes down Well, ain't it lonesome, ain't it lonesome The one you love she's not around When the sun go down Sun rise in the East And it goes down in the West Sun rise in the East And it goes down in the West Well, it's hard to tell, hard to tell Which one will treat you the best When the sun go down Last night I lay asleepin' I was thinkin' on to myself Last night I lay asleepin' I was thinkin' on to myself Well the girl I love mistreated me She mistreated me for someone else When the sun go down Now good bye old sweethearts and pals Yes, I'm goin' away But I may be back to see you, girl Some old rainy day Well in the ev'nin', in the ev'nin', Mama when the sun go down
