Lyrics In the Evening (When the Sun Goes Down) - Ray Charles, David 'Fathead' Newman, Hank Crawford

In the Evening (When the Sun Goes Down)

In the evenin', in the evenin'
Mama when the sun go down
In the evenin', darlin'
I declare when the sun go down
Yeah, it’s so lonesome, it’s so lonesome
I declare when the one you love is not around
When the sun go down
Last night, I were layin' sleepin'
I declare, I was sleepin' all by myself
Last night, I were layin' sleepin', darlin'
And I declare it was all by myself
Yeah but the one that I was really in love with
I declare she was sleepin' 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, darlin'
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 goin' away
I may be back to see you again
Little girl some old rainy day
Yes in the evenin', in the evenin'
I declare when the sun go down
When the sun go down
