  1. Song (continued)

    As I went out walking one morning in Spring

    (continued from previous page)
    Five long years I've courted against my own will;
    And now I intend to have my own will
    So I won't be a maiden on Monday morning.
    5
    On Monday morning, the bells they will ring;
    My husband stand by me and give me a gold ring;
    And when we are married we'll have our own fling.
    So I won't be a maiden on Monday morning.
