Lyrics

when your good gal done quit ya, and the sun is going down, you sit down in your swing, and then you're gonna sing, in the evening, in the evening, baby, when the sun goes down, in the evening, baby when the sun goes down, well, ain't it lonesome, man ain't happy, sonny boy, when your love is not around, oh, when the sun goes down, last night i laid sleeping, i was thinking to myself, last night i lay there sleepin', i was thinkin' to myself, thinkin 'bout the one that we loved best, gone, mistreat you for somebody else, oh, when the sun goes down, sun rises in the east, it sets in the west, sun rising east, sonny boy, said take me in the west, well, ain't it hard to tell, your heart to *car', which ones that will fit you the best, oh, when the sun goes down, 'wail ya's, woo, hittin' me, oh, ooh, oh, hoo, hittin' you, love, is cold, sonny, hoo, gettin' mean, lordy!, goodbye, my old sweetheart, where have you been?, yeah, just went away, i may be back there, see you again, some rainy day, well, in the ev'nin, in the ev'nin, baby, honey, when the sun goes down, oh, when the sun goes down.
