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, will mistreat you for someone else, when the sun goes down

The sun rises in the East, and it sets up in the West
The sun rises in the East, mama, and 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

Hey-ey-ey-ah, hee-hoo-eee
Hey-ey-ey-ah, hee-hoo-oh
Hey-ey-ey-hi, hoo-oo-ee

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
