Can anyone help with the melody line of:
SEVEN NIGHTS
On Monday night, he came to my door and he made such a din. "Get up, get up, my darling girl, and let your lover in." Well, I got up and I let him in and on me he did fall. It was five o'clock in the morning before I got any sleep at all.
On Tuesday night, he came to my door the joys of love to tend. "Get up, get up, you darling girl, before I go round the bend." Well, I got up and I let him in and in my arms he lay, But he had to hear the stroke of four before he'd go away.
On Wednesday night, he came to my door a little bit late in time. "I'd have been here sooner, my darling girl, but the hill was too hard to climb." He wasn't long in my arms before he let me be, Then out of the house and down the road just after the stroke of three.
On Thursday night, he came to my door so weary and so slow. "Give me a drink, my darling girl, and then to work we go." All night he fought with it and I had to help him through, And I heard him sigh as he rose to go but only after two.
On Friday night, he came to my door a-shaking in every limb. "Get up, get up, my darling girl, and carry your lover in." Well, I got up and I carried him in and I gently laid him down, But barely couldn't his spirit rise to reach the stroke of one.
On Saturday night, he came to my door. He came on his hands and knees. "Oh, don't get up, my darling girl. Stay in and let me be." But I got up and I carried him in, but he fell down in a swoon, And for all I tried to raise him up, he lay till Sunday noon.
