In the evenin', in the evenin'

baby, when the sun goes down

In the evenin', in the evenin'

baby, when the sun goes down

Ain't it lonesome, ain't it lonesome

When your baby can't be found

Well, now if you love your baby

And you treat him right

But he keeps on fussin' at you

Every day and night

He's gonna trifle on you

Oh come on in Miss Kitty

They'll do it every time

and when your baby starts to steppin'

Lord, you really lose your mind

Now if your baby's mean

Take a tip from me

Wanna lock him up at home

And throw away the key

He's gonna trifle on you

Trifle on you

They'll do it every time

And when your baby starts to steppin'

Lord, you really lose your mind

Blues stay away from me

Blues why don't you let me be

Don't know why you keep a hauntin' me

Love was never meant for me

True love was never meant for me

Seems somehow we never can agree

Where's my baby, where's my darlin'

Baby, where you been so long

Where's my baby, where's my darlin'

Baby, where you been so long

Drop the money in the jukebox

And play another honky tonky song

Yeah

Ain't that right, Loretta?

You got it, kid.
