In the Evening 
In the Evening (Leroy Carr) 
In the evenin', in the evenin', baby when the sun goes down In the evenin', in the evenin', baby when the sun goes down Ain't it lonesome, ain't it lonesome, when your lover can't be found. When the sun goes down. 
Last night I lay a-sleepin', thinkin' to myself Last night I lay a-sleepin', thinkin' to myself Well I thought she loved me, found she loved somebody else When the sun went down 
Well the sun rises in the east, sets down in the west Well the sun rises in the east, sets down in the west Lord, ain't it hard to tell. Hard to tell which one will treat you the best When the sun goes down. 
[When the party's all over, baby, an' all the liquor's gone dry, A man gets to thinkin', a man is born to die In the evenin', in the evenin, baby when the sun goes down When the sun goes down.]* 
Goodbye my sweet and lovin' baby, you know I'm goin' away Be back to see you, some old rainy day. Well, in the evenin', in the evenin, baby when the sun goes down When the sun goes down. 
*verse sung by Joe Williams, not in Carr's original. RG
