bernard cribbins - folk song lyrics

[verse 1]
upon the monday morning old
the rain it was a+rainin’
my love she come to me and said
“when shall you and i be wed?
“i have bought a double bed
and mother is complaining.”
(i can’t abide her mother)
and, all the while
the rain it was a+rainin’

[verse 2]
upon the tuesday morning old
the snow it was a+glistenin’
my love still hadn’t gone away
so, i did ask her mistress [?]
“what was it you said yesterday?
i really wasn’t listenin’.”
(“haha!” i laughed. she hit me!)
and, all the while the snow it was a+glistenin’

[verse 3]
upon the wednesday morning old
the hail it was a+hailing
my lovе she made a quick retort
and said, “to cut a story short
i bought a bеd, the double sort
your hearing must be failing.”
(she called me a deaf nit!)
and, all the while, the hail it was a+hailin’
[verse 4]
upon the thursday morning old
the day was not a hot one
i said, “you bought a double bed
well, that was what i thought you said
you must be going off your head
for i’ve already got one.”
yeah, we’ve got two now, haven’t we?
and, all the while, the day was not a hot one

[verse 5]
upon the friday morning old
n0body spoke!

[verse 6]
upon the sat+rday morning old
the thunder it was frightenin’
i shouted so that i’d be heard
“oh, let us marry on the third”
but did she answer? not a word
for she’d been struck by lightnin’
and, after that, the weather started brightenin’

[outro (spoken)]
i had a lovely day. i went fishin’!
i caught four
one of ’em was a great big, fat fella he was, oh, lovely
