Lyrics for In the Evening the Sun is Going Down

Mmmmm, you know late in the evenin' Man, you know the sun is goin' down Late in the evenin' You know the sun is goin' down Yeah, you know a man can't help but be lonesome You know when his good girl ain't around Mmmmm, you know I laid down last night With my baby on my mind Mmmmm, you know I laid down last night With my baby on my mind Yeah, you know I told that woman she can't quit me Baby, there's no need to try Mamie, oh Mamie Mamie, oh Mamie Now don't you hear me callin'? Mmmmm, you know I don't want no woman Man won't do what she said You know I don't want no woman Man won't do what she said You know I'd rather be gone Some place far away
