A super fast one. The idea was stolen, sort of, from Leadbelly. (Sorry Huddie.)

Lyrics

On a Monday in the morning I massacred my mind On Tuesday in the evening I ran out of time On a Wednesday after breakfast I finally figured it out But on a Thursday in the afternoon I returned to living in doubt

And I ain't gonna be seeing any Shooting stars tonight Ain't no use in trying to get Brooding hearts to fight They're stuck in their own damn jail

On a Friday, I started singing I sang the whole day through On a Saturday I admitted I was still missing you But on a Sunday I regretted Most the things I've done 'Cause on a Monday I was locked up My sentence had begun

And I ain't gonna be seeing any Shooting stars tonight Ain't no use in trying to get Brooding hearts to fight They're stuck in their own damn jail They're stuck in their own damn jail

Kinda reminds me of Bruce Springsteen song ... Darlington County - fantastic use of the days of the week - an enjoyable read

Classic depression era Americana. Nice guitar work and the days of the week motif has its own impetus that drives us along to the end. Enjoyed this!

I like this a lot. I like the guitar picking, and the way the melody is kind of familiar but not quite, and I love the lyrics!
