[Verse 1]
Well, in the evenin'
In the evenin', mm
Baby, when the sun go down
In the evenin'
When the sun go down
Ay-ay-ain't it lonesome!
Ain't it lonesome
Ain't it lonesome
When you're not around –
When the sun go down?

[Verse 2]
When all the fun
The fun is all over
And the liquor's all gone dry
Oh, baby you get to thinking
A man is born to die
In-In the evenin'!
In the evenin'
In the evenin'
When the sun go down
When the sun go down
[Verse 3]
Sun rises in the east
Sets down in the west
Sun rises in the east
Sets down in the west
Ay-ay-ay-ain't it hard to tell
Hard to tell
Hard to tell
Which one will love you the best –
When the sun go down?

[Verse 4]
Well, goodbye my old sweetheart and pals
I-I-I'm, I'm goin' away
I'll be back to see you all again
Some old rainy day
I-in the evenin'
In the evenin'
In the evenin'
When the sun go down
When the sun go down

[Verse 5]
Well, in the evenin'
In the evenin', mm
Baby, when the sun go down
In the evenin'
Baby, when the sun go down
Ay-ay-ay-ain't it lonesome!
Ain't it lonesome
Ain't it lonesome
When you're not around –
When the sun go down?
