Monday I'm a gambling
Tuesday I'm a rambling
Wednesday I'm a dancing
Thursday I'm romancing
Friday I'm enlisting
Saturday I'm insisting
But Sunday I'm a praying
That you're gonna be staying
With this Confederate Man
Tomorrow I'm going to way
Gone for a year or more
Will you wait, remain true
You know I've gotta see this through
But I'm hoping and a praying
That you're gonna be staying
With this Confederate Man
Monday I was fighting
Tuesday it was frightening
Wednesday was unkind
By Thursday I was blind
Friday I was crying
Saturday felt like dying
But Sunday I was praying
Hoping you'd be staying
With this Confederate Man
I've just come home from war
Now I know the score
Did you wait, remain true
You know I had to see it through
But I was hoping and a praying
That you would be staying
With this Confederate Man
