Monday Morning

   Dmi                    E            Ami 
1. Early one mornin' one mornin' in spring 
       Dmi             G          C            E 
   to hear the birds whistle the nightingales sing 
      Ami        G           Ami        Emi7 
   I met a fair maiden who sweetly did sing 
        Ami         Dmi          E         Ami 
   I'm going to be married next Monday morning. 
2. 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'. 
3. 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'. 
4. 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'. 
5. Next Monday mornin' the bells they will ring 
   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'. 
6. 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'.
