Sundown Lyrics

(Son House)

One-two.
Rollin'.
Okey, sundown.

Hm, hm.

You know late one evenin',
I went out to the outskirts of town.
Late one evenin',
I went out to the outskirts of town.
And I chose me a seatin',
watched the evenin' sun go down.

I say little girl,
you know you done broke my heart.
Little girl, little girl,
you know you done broke my heart.
And it's so sad to say
that the best friends have to part.

You know I wakes up soon in the mornin'
and I'm feelin' sick and bad.
Yes, I wakes up soon in the mornin'
and I'm feelin' sick and bad.
I'm thinking 'bout the good times
that I once have had.

Little girl, little girl,
your little trouble comin' home one day.
Little girl, little girl,
your little trouble comin' home one day.
You're gonna be sorry
for treating poor me this way.

You know people don't seem to like you
when you try to be lovin' and kind.
People don't seem to like you
when you try to be lovin' and kind.
One day they're comin' after you
and you'll be done change your mind.

You know the blues
is a weird, old heart disease.
You know the blues
is a weird, old heart disease.
Well, it seems like you try to love somebody
and they're so hard to please.

You know the sun is goin' down
behind that old western hill.
The sun is goin' down
behind that old western hill.
Well, I never practiced nothin',
but I guess my little baby will.
Hm-hm.
