  'Twas on a Monday morning-oh,
              F     C       G
  The rain it was a-raining.

  My love she came to me and said
                  B7      E    A
  "Oh, when shall you and I be wed?
       D        G        C      B7
  I've gone and bought a double bed
      E      A     D         G
  And Mother is complaining-oh".
C         F         C       F     C        F, C, G
  All the while the rain it was a-raining.


  'Twas on a Tuesday morning-oh,
  The snow it was a-glistening.
  My love still hadn't gone away
  And so I asked her "Mistress, pray
  What was it you said yesterday?
  I really wasn't listening-oh, "
  All the while the snow it was a-glistening.


  'Twas on a Wednesday morning-oh,
  The hail it was a-hailing.
  My love then made a quick retort:
  She said "To cut a story short,
  I've bought a bed, the double sort.
  Your hearing must be failing-oh".
  All the while the hail it was a-hailing.


  'Twas on a Thursday morning-oh,
  The day was not a hot one.
  I said "You've 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-oh".
  All the while the day was not a hot one.


  On Friday, nobody spoke.


  'Twas on a Saturday morning-oh,
  The thunder it was frightening.
  I shouted, so that I'd be heard
  "Oh,let us marry on the Third!"
  But did she answer? Not one word -
  For she'd been struck by lightning-oh.
  After that, the weather started brightening - oh!
