[Verse 1]
On [C]Monday night he [G]came to
my door
and he made such a din
Get [C]up, get up, you [G]darlin' girl
and [C]let your [F]lover [G]in
Well, I got up and I let him in
and [Am]on me [G]he did fall
It was five o 'clock in the morning
before I got any [C]sleep at all
[G]On Tuesday nig[C]ht he
[G]came to my door,
the joys of love to tend
[C]Get up, get up, you [G]darlin' girl,
be[F]fore I go [G]round the bend.
Well, I got up and I let him in,
and [Am]in my arms he [G]lay,
but he had to hear the stroke of four
before he'd [C]go away.
[G]On [C]Wednesday [G]night he
came to my door
a little bit late in time.
I'd have been here sooner,
you darlin' girl,
but the hill was too hard to climb.
He wasn't long all in my arms
before he let me be
Then out of the house and down
the road
But after the [C]stroke of three
[G]On [C]Thursday night he came to my door
So weary [Am]an d so s[G]low
Come give me a drink, you darling girl
And [C]then to [G]work we go
All night long he fought with it
And I had to help him through
And I heard him sigh as
he rose to go,
it's only [C]after two.
[G]On Fri[C]day night he cam[G]e to my door,
a -shakin' in every limb.
[C]Get up, [G]get up, you darlin' girl,
and [F]carry your [G]lover in.
[C]Well, I [G]got up and I carried him in,
and I gently laid him down.
[C]But barely couldn't his spirit rise
to reach the stroke of one.
[G]On Saturday [C]night, he came
[G]to my door.
He came on his hands and knees.
Oh, don't get up, you darling girl.
[C]Stay in [F]an d let me [G]be.
[C]When I [G]got up for to let him in,
he fell down in the swoon.
For all I tried to raise him up,
he lay till Sunday noon.
