In The Evening

|
(Spoken:)
|
Do you remember when this number first come out, man?
|
|
Yeah, I was a young boy and you were an old man!
|
|
The old master used to do this number... old man Roosevelt Sykes.
|
He the first one I heard gassin' on with this number,
|
"In the evening when the sun go down". And I used to be crazy
|
about that number, you know? I used to have a gal in my arm, you know...
|
a bottle of corn liquor on my left... (Moonshine, man). Oh, no
|
moonshine man, corn whiskey! C.H.O.D.N., corn, man, real corn, you know!
|
(yeah) And, and, I mean, I'd get in the groove, and... and
|
this is what I would say, man, with that gal on my left...
|
I'd let her know that I was no square, that I was hip.

|
In the evening, in the evening
|
In the evening, when the sun go down
|
In the evening, baby when the sun go down
|
Nighttime is the right time
|
To be with the one you love
|
In the evening, when the sun go down
|
|
The sun rise, rise in the east
|
And it sets down in the west
|
The sun rise in the east, baby
|
And it sets down in the west
|
Well, well I love, love two women
|
Ain't it hard to tell which one you love the best
|
In the evening, when the sun go down
|
|
(Spoken:)
|
Look out there, Mickey, talk about it now
|
Well I'll be doggone
|
|
(Mickey's solo)
|
Oh, you're really going in the sun there!
|
Stay out of the sun, doc, you're goin' back to Mississippi...
|
Yeah, that's bad!
|
Mmmmm, I believe I'll try a little bit of that myself, man
|
|
(Jack's solo)
|
Well the sun goes sinking down with that one....
|
I got to sing a little bit more of that other man, 'cause that's somethin'!
|
(Talk about it like a dog!)
|
|
(Sung:)
|
I'm a warn you, I'm a warn you one more time
|
I'm a warn you one more time 'fore you go
|
I'm a warn you baby, I'm a warn you one time 'fore you go
|
Well well if you stay out all night long
|
I don't want, I don't want you no more
|
In the evening, when the sun go down
|
