Lyrics
(Folk tune from England, Lyrics by Carolyn Sherwin Bailey)
Now Monday comes for washing,
For washing, for washing,
Monday comes for washing
And hanging out to dry.
Then Tuesday comes for folding,
For folding, for folding,
Tuesday comes for folding
The linens smooth and high.
And Wednesday comes for sewing,
For sewing, for sewing,
Wednesday comes for sewing
With thread in needle’s eye.
And Thursday comes for sweeping,
For sweeping, for sweeping,
Thursday comes for sweeping
And making cobwebs fly.
And Friday we go walking,
Go walking, go walking,
Friday we go walking
Some apples red to buy.
Oh Saturday’s for baking,
For baking, for baking,
Saturday’s for baking
A dainty apple pie.
