about

This is one of the many fine songs written by Colum Sands of Mayobridge, County Down. This song has a timeless quality which belies the fact that it was written only a few years ago.

lyrics

Seven days are in the week in almost every circumstance
And there's four seasons in the year, that’s what we learned at school
Ah, but never count your chickens when you're dealing with the women
For many's the wise man fell asleep and wakened up a fool.

The first time I met my love was on a Monday morning

And the second time I saw her was a Tuesday afternoon

When she kissed me on a Wednesday, I couldn't wait for Thursday
But I can tell you now, my boys, that Thursday never came.

Seven days are in the week in almost every circumstance
And there's four seasons in the year, that’s what we learned at school
Ah, but never count your chickens when you're dealing with the women
For many's the wise man fell asleep and wakened up a fool.

My love, she took the wintertime and turned it into springtime
I never thought that love could change the world so much before
I gave my heart and in return she promised me the summertime
But I can tell you now, my boys, that summer never came.

Seven days are in the week in almost every circumstance
And there's four seasons in the year, that’s what we learned at school
Ah, but never count your chickens when you're dealing with the women
For many's the wise man fell asleep and wakened up a fool.

Seven days are in the week in almost every circumstance
And there's four seasons in the year, that’s what we learned at school
Ah, but never count your chickens when you're dealing with the women
For many's the wise man fell asleep and wakened up a fool.
