2oclock in the Evening - Charles the Mac

Traditional In the evening by the moonlight When my mother had finished working We used to sit around the fire place Till the cornbread it was done And then we all would eat our supper After that we'd clean the kitchen It's the only time they ever gave us to spare To have a little fun Then my daddy used to take his fiddle down That hung upon the wall While the silvery moon was shining clear and bright How the folks would enjoy it They would sit all night and listen As we used to sing in the evening by the moonlight In the evening by the moonlight You could hear banjos ringing You could hear them by the moonlight You could hear my folks all singing How my mother she would enjoy it She would sit all night and listen As we sang in the evening by the moolight oh yeah In the evening by the moonlight You could hear folks all singing In the evening by the moonlight You could hear my folks all singing How my mother she would enjoy it She would sit all night and listen As we sang in the evening by the moolight oh yeah In the evening by the moonlight You could hear banjos ringing In the evening by the moonlight You could hear my folks all singing How my mother she would enjoy it She would sit all night and listen As we sang in the evening by the moolight oh yeah

I wake up every mornin' Peep hole and take a look at the risin' sun I wake up every mornin' And take a look at the risin' sun Then I realize my baby's gone I missed her last night from holdin' her in my arm I'm gonna ring up Turner And try to see if the little girl is over there I'm gonna ring up Turner And try to see if the little girl is over there Well, I know, I know my baby I know the sweet thing by the clothes she wear She's got great, big, sexy legs And she wear the shoe, just 'bout number three She's got great, big, sexy legs She wear the shoe number three I got to find, I got to find my sweet thing Because her love means everything in this world to me Since she's been gone You know my life don't seem the same Since she's been gone I tell you my life don't seem the same People, you know it fills my heart with sorrow Every time I hear another man call my woman's name
