Monday Morning - 区瑞强 (Albert Au)

Early one morning one morning in spring

To hear the birds whistle

The nightingale sing

I met a fair maiden who sweetly did sing

I'm going to be married next monday morning

How old are u my fair young maid

Here in this valley this valley so green

How old are u my fair young maid

I'm going to be sixteen next monday morning

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 ur wedding for monday morning

U talk like a mad man a man with no skill

Three years i've been waiting against my own will

And now i'm determined to have my own way

And i'm going to be married next monday morning

Next monday morning the bells they'll ring

My true love'll buy me a gay golden ring

Also he'll buy me a new pretty gown

To wear at my wedding next monday morning

Next monday night when i go to my bed

And i turn around to the man that i've wed

Around his middle my two arms i'll fling

And i wish to my soul it was monday morning
