Washday Blues

I was taking some washing off the line earlier, and the words, 'the washday blues,' popped into my head. I have no idea why, but perhaps I was subconsciously feeling a bit blue? I guess washing can do that to you!

Anyway, I kept repeating the words and thought for certain that it must be the name of a song. So I googled, and I was right. It's a Dolly Parton song!

Last Saturday night I looked like a princess dressed in calico

Now blue Monday washday I look like a lady hobo

Just rubbin' and a scrubbin' and a raisin' 'em outI gotta hang 'em out early

I hope the sun comes out

Wash 'em out ring 'em out hang 'em on the line

Get a little tired just think about the good times,washday blues

Now I ain't never been very lucky

I ain't never won a prize

But I'd like to get a job on TV for some of that soap they advertise

Rubbin' and scrubbin...

Well that good lookin' good lovin' no good man of mine

Could buy me a washin' machine

But he spends all his money on payday to make me look like a queen

Now rubbin' and scrubbin'...
