Early one morning one morning in spring
1 ,
the nightingale 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
2
How old are you 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 marry
3
So put off your wedding for Monday morning

You talk like a mad man,
a man with no skill
Three years I've been waiting
against my own will
4
And I'm going to be married next Monday morning

And next monday morning the bells they will ring
5
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 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 morning

歌曲介绍:

<星期一早晨>颇具象征意义,星期一即告别闲暇的周末,开始
新的一周的忙碌,作者似乎在此意指婚姻将带来命运的转折,是劳碌
一生的开始.当然,歌中并未点破,却留给听众想象的余地。

听到这首歌,不由想起小说<围城>中说所"城外的人想冲进去,
城里的人想冲出来";原来,婚姻的"围城"古今中外皆然。
