(In the Evening) When the Sun Goes Down

In the evenin', Mama, when the sun goes down

In the evenin', Mama, when the sun goes down

Ain't it so lonesome, ain't it so lonesome

When your love was not around when the sun goes down

Well, I lay awake at night

Well, I'm just thinkin' to myself

Oh, I lay awake at night

Oh, I'm just thinkin' to myself

Oh, don't it hurt so bad

When your love was lovin' someone else

When the sun goes down

[Instrumental break]

When the sun rises in the east

When it sets down in the west

When the sun rises in the east, now, Mama

When it sets down in the west

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

Which woman'll love you the best

When the sun goes down

[Instrumental break]

When the sun goes down

When the sun goes down

When the sun goes down

Oh, when the sun goes down

When the sun goes down

When the sun goes down

When the sun goes down
