Every Night

Every Night
Traditional, arranged by Tom Chapin
© 1996 The Last Music Co. (ASCAP)

Every night when the sun goes in.
Every night when the sun goes in.
Every night when the sun goes in
I hang down my head and mournful cry.

True love don’t weep, true love don’t mourn.
True love don’t weep, true love don’t mourn.
True love don’t weep, and mourn for me,
I’m going away to Marbletown.

I wish to the Lord my babe was born,
Sitting on his mammy’s knee
And me poor boy were dead and gone
With the green grass growing over me.

Every night when the sun goes in.
Every night when the sun goes in.
Every night when the sun goes in
I hang down my head and mournful cry.

This song appears on Tom Chapin's Doing Our Job CD.
