Been a mighty short day
Night's done come on me
Been a mighty short day
Night's done fell on me
Oh, another lonely night
Another night of misery

Well, I get up in the mornin'
Everything's alright
The sun goes down
I just hang my head and cry

Got the sundown blues
I got the sundown blues
Lord, I don't know what I got
Man, they sure want to lose

Well, I ain't been home
In a long, long time
Lord, I ain't been home
In a mighty long time
If I don't hurry up and go
Think I'm goin' out of my mind

Got the sundown blues
I've got the sundown blues
Well, I don't know what I got
Man, they sure want to lose
Don't know what I got
They sure want to lose
