Lyrics:
Evening
Every night you come and you find me
Every night you come and remind me
That my gal is gone
Evening
Oh you've got me deeply 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 you, most of all
Even though I try, how can I go on
Evening
Let me sleep 'til the gray dawn is breakin'
I don't care if I don't awaken
Since my gal is gone
Since my gal is gone

[@LimesRickie]

A gem! 💖

Evenin'
Ev'ry night you come and you find me, oh Lord
And you always come and remind me, oh yes
That my gal is gone, my baby's gone, oh Lord, my baby's gone
Evenin'
Can't you see I'm deeply in your power, oh Lord?
Every minute seems like an hour, oh Lord
Since my gal, she's gone, my baby's gone, my baby's gone
Now shadow's fallin', well,
Are on the wall
That's the time I miss your kiss, most of all
Even though I try, how can I go on, oh yes, go on
Pretty baby
Evenin'
Let me sleep 'til the gray dawn is breakin', oh yes
I don't care if I don't awaken, oh Lord
Since my gal she's gone, my baby's gone, oh yes she's gone
Evenin'
Let me sleep 'til gray dawn is breakin', oh Lord
I don't care if I don't awaken, oh yes, since my gal she's gone
My baby's gone, my baby's gone
My baby's gone

Very powerful. Jimmy sings as though he means it.
Wonderful harmonica, too. Top drawer.

Close to the sound of a led zeppelin

[@Da_Xman]

How 'bout the other way around...? Zeppelin certainly did learn from extraordinary guys like this.
