I hate to see evenin' sun go down
I hate to see evenin' sun go down
Cause it makes me think, I’m on my last go-round
Some people take the blues, go jump overboard and drown
Some people take the blues, go jump overboard and drown
But when they gets on me, I’d rather stay 'n go sit down
I been to the river, looked it up and down
I been to the river, looked it up and down
But when my mind never let me, to jump overboard and drown
Oh, take it away now
Yes, I know
Play it mister Charlie
While I’m lookin' at you
Every time I go, across that old muddy pond
Every time I go, across that old muddy pond
