[Verse 1] In the evenin' Baby, when the sun goes down In the evenin' I'm talkin' 'bout when the sun goes down I get so lonesome when my daddy can't be found [Verse 2] Last night I was laying there Thinking to myself Last night I was there Tryna get it together by myself All I know, all I know Is I'm tired of sleeping by myself [Verse 3] Hey because I've got a man that lives Way up on the hill Say, I've got a man that lives Way up on the hill When he don't want me But I love him, I love him still [Verse 4] Lord, hе got great big eyes likе diamonds Teeth shine like gold The man's got great big eyes like diamonds And his teeth shine just like gold I know he don't want me But he satisfies my soul [Verse 5] And I know my baby Is gonna jump and shout I know my baby Is gonna jump and shout When the gent flies in And Esther comes walking out [Verse 6] All I want you to do is hold on, baby Mama's coming home one day I said yeah yeah yeah, hold on, baby Your mama's coming home one day Just don't let no-no-nobody Lead my little man astray [Verse 7] Because I'm going to Chicago And I can't take you I'm gonna move on out to Chicago And I can't take you Ain't nothin', I said nothin' That a fool like you can do [Verse 8] When you see me coming, baby Raise your window high Lord Lord Lord Lord Lord Lord, when you see me coming Raise your window high But when I walk on by, when I walk on by Hang your head and cry [Verse 9] Well, I want you to cry me a river I cried a river over you I said come on, baby, and cry me a river I cried a river over you Now it's your turn, baby Cry, cry, cry [Tenor Saxophone solo: King Curtis] [Verse 10] I don't want no man Always hittin' on me I can't stand no man Always hittin' on me, no no You know the last man that hit me He's been dead since '63 [Verse 11] It's early in the mornin' and I can't get right Had a little date with my baby last night Now it's early in the mornin' And ooh yeah yeah in the morning So early in the mornin' And I ain't got nothin' but the blues, yeah [Verse 12] Well I went down the street to get something to eat The girl looked at me and said, "Mama, you sure look beat" I said it's early in the mornin' Oh Lord, in the morning So early in the mornin' And I ain't got nothin' but the blues [Verse 13] And I said the eagle flies on a Friday Saturday I'll go out to play And I said the eagle flies on a Friday Saturday I'll go out to play Sunday I go to church And I fall down on my knees and pray [Verse 14] Whoa Lord, whoa Lord I said Lord have mercy on me Whoa Lord, whoa Lord Lord have mercy on me All I want is just one somebody One somebody to come and end my misery [Verse 8] I said when you see me comin', baby Raise your window high Lord Lord, when you see me coming Raise your window high But when I walk on by Hang your head and cry, cry, cry cry cry
