In The Evenin' Lyrics - Esther Phillips

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.
