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 I think about my baby, and come easin' on back home Everybody try to show me, how to ease my troublin' mind Everybody try to show me, how to ease my troublin' mind When the big boat come along, to just jump on in behind
