[Chorus 1][x2]
They called it stormy Monday
And Tuesday's just as bad
[Verse 1]
Wednesday's the worst
And Thursday's also sad
Well, the eagle flies on Friday
And Saturday I go out and play
Don't you know that the eagle flies on Friday
And Saturday I go out and play
[Bridge]
Sunday I'll go to church
Then I'll kneel down on my knees and I'll pray
Oh Lord, help me
[Chorus 2]
Lord, have mercy
Lord, have mercy on me
Lord, have mercy, Lord, have mercy
Lord, have mercy on me
[Bridge]
Said I done searched the whole world over
And I can't find my lover nowhere
Oh Lord
[Chorus 2]
Said I cried, Lord have mercy
Lord have mercy on me
Said I cried, Lord have mercy
Lord have mercy on me
[Outro]
Send my baby back
Or I will live in misery
Oh Lord, hey, hey
