In the evening,
in the evening, mama when the sun go down
In the evening, mama,
when the sun go down
Ain't it lonesome,
ain't it lonesome
When your baby can't be found,
when the sun goes down.
Other night, I'm sleeping,
and I wake up thinking to myself,
The other night I'm sleepin' I wake
up thinkin' to myself
Can't your heart feel mighty empty when the one you love
is busy lovin' somebody else?
When the sun go down, you ever wake up darlin',
cold in hand about the break of day?
Ever wake up, baby,
just about to break of day?
Reach over and touch the pillow where
your baby's head used to lay
When the sun went down
My heart is heavy as lead because the blues
is spreading rocks in my bed.
Of all the people I see,
why do they pick on me an d put rocks in my bed?
On that long night we'd tell me,
how can I sleep with rocks in my bed?
Well, a sweet gal of mine, she's gone,
and she will not be back.
Well, a sweet gal of mine, she's gone,
and she cannot get back.
He said, baby, he ugly and he poor,
baby, leave him alone.
And I feel as low as a snake, as a snake in a wagon track,
baby.
oh baby, rocks in my bed,
rock s in my bed, wow, wow, wow,
rocks in my bed. I'm under loved and overfed,
my woman's gone, and I got rocks in my bed, baby.
Miss her in the evening,
I miss her in the evening.
I miss her when the sun goes down I said
I miss her in the even ing
Evening
When the sun goes down
