Hi,

This is another clearly related version that has to many changes to be a version-- with stanzas similar to perhaps to Careless Love:

Sharp's EFSSA, II 1932 edition p. 268:

No. 189
Every Night when the Sun goes in- Sung by Mrs. EFFIE MITCHELL
at Burnsville, N. C , Oct. 6, 1918

1. Ev'ry night when the sun goes in,
Ev'ry night when the sun goes in,
Ev'ry 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 nor mourn for me,
I'm going a way to Marble town.

2 I wish to the Lord that train would come (3 times)
To take me back where I come from.
True love, don't weep, etc.

3 It's once my apron hung down low (3 times)
He'd follow me through both sleet and snow.
True love, don't weep, etc.

4 It's now my apron's to my chin (3 times)
He'll face my door and won't come in.
True love, don't weep, etc.

5 I wish to the Lord my babe was born,
A-sitting upon his pappy's knee,
And me, poor girl, was dead and gone,
And the green grass growing over me.
True love, don't weep, etc.
