Cab Calloway
Cotton Club 1933-1934

Evenin', 
 Every night [bad word] and you find me, 
 Must you [bad word] and remind me, 
 That my gal is gone. 
 Hurry, evenin', 
 Don't you see I'm deep in your power, 
 Every minute seems like an hour, 
 Since my gal is gone. 
 Shadows fall 
 On the wall, 
 That's the time I miss her kiss most of all, 
 Even though I try 
 How can I go on? 
 Take me, evenin', 
 Let me sleep 'til gray dawn is breaking, 
 I don't care if I don't awaken, 
 For my gal is gone.

 I don't care if I don't awaken, 
 For my gal is gone.
