Well it was late in the evening
And the Sun was going down
Yes it was late in the evening
And the Sun was going down
I was praying to the good Lord
To please send my baby 'round

Yes I'm miserable than ever
To me she's the only one
Yes I'm miserable than ever
To me she's the only one
She's the one that never fails me
When I need a favor done

I hate to hear the raindrops
Beat against my window pane
Yes I hate to hear the raindrops
Beat against my window pane
I'm so blue without my baby
It's enough to drive poor me insane

Will I ever find my baby
She's the one I can't afford to lose
Now will I ever find my baby
She's the one I can't afford to lose
I wake up early in the morning
With the late in the evening blues
