In The Evening (When The Sun Goes Down)

(album: Ingredients In A Recipe For Soul - 1963)

In the evening, in the evening, Mama when the sun go down
In the evening, darling, I declare when the sun go down
Yeah, it's so lonesome, it's so lonesome, sometimes
I declare when the one you love is not around
When the sun go down

Last night, I were laying sleeping
I declare, I was sleeping all by myself
Last night, I were laying sleeping, darling
And I declare it was all by myself
Yeah but the one that I was really in love with
I declare she was sleeping some place else
When the sun go down

Yeah, ooh
Yeah, ooh
And I just, suddenly I wanted baby
Everybody could have a good time before me
When the sun go down

The sun rises in the east
And I declare it sets way over in the west
Sun rises in the east, darling
And I declare it sets way over in the west
Yes it's so hard, it's so hard to tell
I declare which one that'll treat you the best
When the sun go down

So goodbye, old sweethearts and pals
Yes I declare I'm going away
I may be back to see you again
Little girl some old rainy day
Yes in the evening, in the evening
I declare when the sun go down
When the sun go down
