I hate to see that evenin' sun go down.
Oh, that's the time my baby left this town.
And I get the blues when that evenin' sun goes down.
She is the meanest gal for miles aroun'.
She made me love her then she called me down.
I feel so bad when that evening sun goes down.
Now my friends scold me, with an awful frown.
Since my baby left me broke in this lonesome town,
I cry and I cry when that evenin' sun goes down.
My friends all scared and they cannot be found
'Cause my gal done quit me, and she have left this town.
Oh, how it grieves me when that evenin' sun goes down.
Straight for the madhouse I'm surely boun'.
Thinkin' 'bout the gal who left this town.
How I feel desperate when that evenin' sun goes down.
When the sheriff 's are spreading dreary all around,
From afar I yell a dreadful sound.
My soul just weeps, when that evenin' sun goes down.
