In The Evening                                             Big Bill Broonzy


In the evening, in the evening, mama, when the sun go down,
In the evenin', darlin', on a clown, when the sun go down,
Yes, it's so lonesome, it's so lonesome,
On a clown, when the one you love is not around when the sun go down.

Last night I were lay an' sleepin',
On the clown, I was sleepin' all by myself,
Last night I were lay an' sleepin' darlin',
On the clown, I was sleepin' all by myself,
Yes, but the one, one that I'm really love with,
On a clown, she was sleepin' some place else when the sun go down.

Yea, woo-oo-oo-ee,
Yea, woo-oo-oo-ee,
Yes, the one that I really love with,
On a clown, she was sleepin' some place else when the sun go down.

Sun rises, now, in the east,
And on a clown, it sets wherev'r in the west,
Sun rises in the east, darlin',
And on a clown, it sets wherev'r in the west,
Yes, it's so hard, it's so hard to tell,
On a clown, which one that would fit you the best when the sun go down.
