“Sundown”

Description

Courting song, with the chorus "It's nearly sundown, sundown/Sun is almost down/Bound away to leave you, 'fore the sun goes down..." Verses begin with "Hi, my little darling"; singer promises to bring his girl back a ribbon to tie around her waist

Notes

I suspect this is related to the song "Hurry Sundown," and I'm guessing that it's a playparty. - PJS
