Big Bill Broonzy

Big Bill Broonzy (June 26, 1903 – August 15, 1958) was a prolific American blues singer, songwriter and guitarist. His career began in the 1920s when he played country blues to mostly black audiences. Through the ‘30s and ‘40s he successfully navigated a transition in style to a more urban blues sound popular with working class Black audiences. In the 1950s a return to his traditional folk-blues roots made him one of the leading figures of the emerging American folk music revival and an international star. His long and varied career marks him as one of the key figures in the development of blues music in the 20th century. more »

In the evenin', in the evenin'
Mama when the sun go down
In the evenin', darlin'
I declare when the sun go down
Yeah, it's so lonesome, it's so lonesome
I declare when the one you love is not around
When the sun go down

Last night, I were layin' sleepin'
I declare, I was sleepin' all by myself
Last night, I were layin' sleepin', darlin'
And I declare it was all by myself
Yeah but the one that I was really in love with
I declare she was sleepin' some place else
When the sun go down

Yeah, ooh
Yeah, ooh
And I just, suddenly I wanted baby
Everybody could have a good time before me
When the sun go down

The sun rises in the east
And I declare it sets way over in the west
Sun rises in the east, darlin'
And I declare it sets way over in the west
Yes it's so hard, it's so hard to tell
I declare which one that'll treat you the best
When the sun go down

So goodbye, old sweethearts and pals
Yes I declare I'm goin' away
I may be back to see you again
Little girl some old rainy day
Yes in the evenin', in the evenin'
I declare when the sun go down
When the sun go down
