Sad about songs, 'bout the way they can cry
All goes to show life's too wonderful
If the pleasure is holdin' you down
Could be the pain in your hand
Choose any time, any place in your mind
Too hot to think any better
It's a pity it finished like this
With only the hope to be missed
Blues on a monday
Church ev'ry sunday
Blues on a monday
On a monday 'bout eleven
The ten o'clock people in bed
I'm goin' one way, maybe heaven
But the ticket don't say where it's head
Adjusting my eyes as I curtain the blinds
Don't want to show what I'm up to
If it happens that somebody calls
I'll hide the rope in the hall
Blues on a monday
Church ev'ry sunday
Blues on a monday
On a monday 'bout eleven
The ten o'clock people in bed
I'm goin' one way, maybe heaven
But the ticket don't say where it's head
Blues on a monday
Church ev'ry sunday
Blues on a monday
On a monday 'bout eleven
The ten o'clock people in bed
I'm goin' one way, maybe heaven
But the ticket don't say where it's head
But I'll be back monday, 'bout eleven
'Cause the ten o'clock people don't know
My ticket's not paid, even waylaid
And as tuesday arrives, so does the dawn
