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.
