When the Sun Goes Down

In the evening, 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 lover's 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'm thinkin' that how the one that you love

Will mistreat you for someone else

When the sun goes down

The sun rises in the east

And it sets up in the west

The sun rises in the east, Mama!

And it sets in the west

Well, it's hard to tell, hard to tell

Which one will treat you the best

When the sun goes down

Yeah-ah!

Hee, hoo-wee!

Yeaah-ah!

Hee, hoo-woah!

Yeaah-hi!

Hoo, hoo-ee!

Goodbye old sweethearts 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, babe

When the sun goes down

When the sun goes down
