[Verse 1]
Ohh, in the evenin'
Baby, when the sun go down
In the evenin’
Darling, when the sun go down
Whoa!
You know it's mighty hard to tell
When the one you love ain't around
When the sun go down
[Verse 2]
Last night I was layin’ down sleeping
I was dreamin' all to myself
Last night I was layin' down sleeping
You know, ah, dreamin' all to myself
Yeah!
I though about – she once had a good home
But the poor girl act a fool and left
[Verse 3]
I said, ah, can you tell me
What more can a good man do?
Baby, will you tell me
Tell me what more can a good man do?
Yeah!
Give you the help and the money
Now, darling, I went broke over you
When the sun go down
[Outro]
Mm-hmm
Mm-mm
Mm-mm-hm
Mm-mm-mm
