In the Evening

In the evening, in the evening, people
I declare, when the sun go down
In the evening, people
I declare, when the sun go down
It is lonesome, it is lonesome
When the one you love ain't 'round
When the sun goes on down

Last night I lay sleepin', yes I was
I was thinkin' out to myself, yeah yeah
Last night I lay sleepin'
I was thinkin' out to myself
And it's hard to tell, hard to tell
When the one you love is in love with someone else
When the sun goes on down

Sun rises in the East, people
And it goes down, goes down in the West, yeah
Sun rises in the East
And it goes down in the West, yeah
Ain't it hard to tell, hard to tell
Which woman gonna love you best
When the sun goes down

In the evening, in the evening, yeah yeah
I declare, when the sun goes on down
In the evening, darlin'
I declare, when the sun goes down, yeah
It ain't lonesome, it ain't lonesome
When the one you love just stay 'round
When the sun goes on down
