monday morning -peter paul and mary

Dont know why I like this. Perspective on marriage.THIS WAS MIXED IN W A FOLK medly post. I wanted to do it separate. I have the week off hanging around so im enjoying doing this when I am not about to fall asleep.


MONDAY MORNING
Adapt. & Arranged by Yarrow/Stookey/Travers/Okun-
Pepamar Music Corp. ASCAP
Early one mornin' one mornin' in spring
To hear the birds whistle the nightingales sing
I met a fair maiden who sweetly did sing
I'm going to be married next Monday morning.

How old are you my fair young maid,
Here in this valley this valley so green
How old are you my fair young maid,
I'm goin' to be sixteen next Monday mornin'.

Well sixteen years old, that's too young for to marry
So take my advice, five years longer to tarry
For marriage brings troubles and sorrows begin
So put off your wedding for Monday mornin'.

You talk like a mad man, a man with no skill
Two years I've been waiting against my own will
Now I'm determined to have my own way
And I'm going to be married next Monday mornin'

And next Monday mornin' the bells they will ring
And my true love will buy me a gay gold ring
Also he'll buy me a new pretty gown
To wear at my wedding next Monday mornin'

Next Monday night when I go to my bed
And I turn round to the man that I've wed
Around his middle my two arms I will fling,
And I wish to my soul it was Monday mornin'.

no one is ever too young or too old for peter paul and mary as long as you have heart and soul and a deep love for heartwarming folk music.
