Every Night When the Sun Goes Down

Written by: [Traditional]
Language: English
Comments: Typical opening lyrics
Ev'ry night when the sun goes down (or in) (3x)
Hang my head and mournful cry

True love don't weep, true love don't mourn (2x)
True love don't weep or mourn for me
Goin' back to Marble town

Someday I pray my train will come (3x)
Then I can go back where I come from
