Hurry Sundown

Harry Belafonte · Other Songs - Harry Belafonte

Hurry sundown, let the weary day be over

I'm so tired of hurt, I've been taken

My heart has been aching so

Don't mind struggling, don't mind livin' a little



If someday my kids are laughing together

And have things I never own

I can feel many changes are coming



Beat them drums in a distance, a drumming

Telling the world a new future has begun

Yes, you got to hurry sundown

I can't wait to see the morning



There's a lot of work I must lend a hand to

So bring on that brand new day

Afraid tomorrow is on it's way

So hurry down, hurry down sweet sun
