When the Sun Goes Down Songtext
von Leroy Carr

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, wondering and thinking
Why the one that you love
Would 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 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

′Yea-ah'
′Ooo-ee, hoo-wee'
′Yea-ah'
′Hee, hoo-oh'
'Yea-hi′
′Hoo, hoo-eee'

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
