Lyrics
(American folk song)
1. ‘Twas on a Monday morning the first I saw my darling
A-washing out the linen clothes, a-washing out the linen clothes.
2. ‘Twas on a Tuesday morning, the first I saw my darling
A-hanging out the linen clothes, a-hanging out the linen clothes.
3. …Wednesday… A-taking in the linen clothes…
4. —Thursday…A-ironing of the linen clothes…
5. …Friday…A-mending of the linen clothes…
6. …Saturday…A-folding of the linen clothes…
7. …Sunday…A-wearing of the linen clothes…
