These are the lyrics that I know:

ALL THE WHILE
(Rudge-Dicks)

'Twas on a Monday morning-o. The rain it was a-raining.
My love she came to me and said,
"Oh, when will you and I be wed,
For I have bought a double bed
And Mother is complaining".
(Spoken:) "I can't abide her mother!"
And all the while the rain it was a-raining.

'Twas on a Tuesday morning-o. The snow it was a-glist'ning.
My love still hadn't gone away
So I did ask her, "Mistress, pray
What was it you said yesterday?
I really wasn't listening".
(Spoken:) "I laughed. She hit me!"
And all the while the snow it was a-glist'ning.

'Twas on a Wednesday morning-o. The hail it was a-hailing.
My love she made a quick retort,
And said, "To cut the story short,
I've bought our bed, the double sort.
Your hearing must be failing!"
(Spoken:) "She called me a deaf twit!"
And all the while the hail it was a-hailing.

'Twas on a Thursday morning-o. The day was not a hot one.
I said, "You've bought a double bed?
Well, that was what I thought you said.
You must be going off your head,
For I've already got one!"
(Spoken:) "We've got two now, ain't we?"
And all the while the day was not a hot one.

'Twas on a Friday Morning-o.
(Spoken:) "Nobody spoke!"

'Twas on a Saturday morning-o. The thunder it was frightening.
I shouted so that I'd be heard,
"Oh, let us marry on the third"
But did she answer? Not a word,
For she'd been struck by lightning!
And after that, the weather started brightening.
(Spoken:) "It was a lovely day. I went fishin'!
