(Buck Tohill, circa 1978)
Oh late in the evening, when the
sun has gone down,
You’re gonna find me out a runnin’
around
Just a painting the town and having a
good time,
Oh late in the evening, while the
stars brightly shine.
Oh why
did you go and leave me here?
I want
so much to have you near,
Oh now
late in the evening when the sun has gone down,
You’re
gonna find me, just a paintin’ the town.
Oh late in the evening, way past
sundown,
When the stars are a’shining ‘way
above the town,
You’re gonna find me in some bar
downtown,
Just a laughin’ it up, with the
tears streaming down.
Oh why
did you go and leave me alone
I feel
so bad since you’ve gone.
Oh late
in the evening, way past sundown,
You’re
gonna find me, Lord, a painting the town.
