Hi Hans,
Here are the words...

ALMOST EVERY CIRCUMSTANCE
Written by Colum Sands
As recorded by Mick Moloney, James Keane, & Robbie O'Connell on "There Were Roses" (1986)

CHORUS: Seven days are in the week in almost every circumstance,
And there's four seasons in the year; that's what we learned at school.
Ah, but never count your chickens when you're dealin' with the women,
For many's a wise man fell asleep and wakened up a fool.

The first time I met my love was on a Monday morning,
And the second time I saw her was a Tuesday afternoon.
When she kissed me on a Wednesday, I couldn't wait for Thursday,
But I can tell you now, me boys, that Thursday never came. CHORUS

My love she took the wintertime and turned it into springtime.
I never thought that love could change the world so much before.
I gave my heart and in return, she promised me the summertime,
But I can tell you now, me boys, that summer never came. CHORUS TWICE

Will you be performing it? If so, Where? PS Mick Moloney came to Tallahassee two years ago to perform...my son played pool with him (BS) (but true)
