Brownie McGhee Lyrics

<< < (5/5)

fosjet:
Thank you David, very helpful!  I now googled 'Pitch a Boogie Woogie' to get some context.

 A dance originating in the blues...  Always good to know what I'm singing about  :D  saves on embarrassment.


Thanks & Regards, Fos

Hi everybody,

Just to check out the words I picked out from the video, not sure I understand everything. The song is In The Evening that I previously heard by the great Big Bill Broonzy. I love Brownie McGhee' version.

This the text I found :

In the evening, in the evening,
Baby, when the sun go down,
In the evening, people, when the sun go down,
Well it's lonesome, and it's lonesome,
When the one you love is not around,
When the sun goes down

The sun rise in the east,
And it goes down in the west,
The sun rise in the east people, and it goes down in the west,
Well it's hard to tell, it's hard to tel now
Which one of'em treat you the best.
That's when the sun gone down.

Last night I was trying to sleep,
I was thinking to myself,
Last night I was trying to sleep, people,
Brownie was thinking to himself,
Ah ! The one I love, the one I love so much,
Mistreated me by someone else
After the sun gone down.

Hey ! Hey ! Oooo ! Oooo !
Hey ! Hey ! Hey ! Hey ! Oooo ! Oooo !
Hey ! Hey ! Hey-hey !
Oooo ! Oooo-ooo
After the sun gone down.

- guitar break

Goodbye sweetheart ??same town??
Don't you know Brownie is gone away,
Well I may be back to see you,
On some old rainy day,
It'll be an evening, in the evening,
After the sun goes down
After the sun gone down

And this is the video I used :



Thanks all !
 :)

Blues Vintage:
2.3 After the sun is gone down

For the last verse (not too sure),  Goodbye sweethearts and pals
