Sundown Town

Eight o'clock in the morning
Train pulls into the station
Step down onto the platform
Measure up the situation

Hear a whisper in your ear
Feel it fill you with fear
"You're in a sundown town!
Look around, if you must
But be gone before dusk
This here's a sundown town!"

Two hours after noon
Still not found a place to eat
"We don't serve people like you!"
Heard at every place on Main Street

Hear a whisper in your ear
Feel it fill you with fear
"You're in a sundown town!
Look around, if you must
But be gone before dusk
This here's a sundown town!"

You'd better run, run, run
This here's a sundown town
You'd better run, run, run
This here's a sundown town

Eight o'clock in the evening
The air is still and hot
A stranger tardy in leaving
Stares down the hangman's knot

Hear a whisper in your ear
Feel it fill you with fear
"You're in a sundown town!
Look around, if you must
But be gone before dusk
This here's a sundown town!"

You'd better run, run, run
This here's a sundown town
You'd better run, run, run
This here's a sundown town

Sundown town
Sundown town
Sundown town
Sundown town
