I feel a blue 'cause I can't sew
There's still a lot of things that I should know
Anyone can guess
I don't know how to press
My Saturday clothes
Everyone's goin' home
I feel a little sad to watch them leave
But I'll be cool because I don't believe
The happy times are gone
I can still put on
My Saturday clothes
Every warm body knows

I've got to tell you
That was a swell time
So now I'll take the butts away
And put the glasses on the tray
I'll see you all next Saturday

Another Saturday night came and went... and it was nice!

Good morning, everyone. Sunday morning, coming down... and it's nice too. Peaceful. Quiet... Big mug of unbranded Keemun tea in my mug. No Food Lady today as Sunday is her one day off, so we'll be cooking our own this morning. I've got a rosemary foccacia rising in the kitchen... I think today will be lots more reading and music, without much physical activity. I can use the rest.

Very clever! This song has been around in one form or another since the 1500's, and everybody has taken a shot at it. Even Robert Burns, who's poem became the framework for most of the modern versions. I've listened to half a dozen of my favorite folk people or groups doing this song but find the 2011 Steve Winwood version most to my liking, probably because it can be done so easily and so clean.

Thanks. And thanks to all who have so commented! I was too busy practicing to reply to each when they happened.
