We get up early in the morning Work our skin down to the bone But whenever I hear that singing I know that one day I’ll get home Oh the rhythm that I’m feeling Seems to say something good to me Oh on Monday, through the weekday But then Sunday sets us free Oh Sunday, sweet Sunday When I lay my body down Oh Sunday,my only one day With a new love that I found Sit by the water and watch the big tree In the cool breeze gently sway Til the day that we get free,well We’ll always love Our sweet Sunday Sweet Sunday I go to church with my mother I see the girl that I would love Maybe one day she’ll turn and smile at me This is what I ask the Lord above Oh when a singing When it’s over maybe I’ll take her Back to her home Talk and laugh 'til night comes calling Then I’ll go back on my own Sweet Sunday I got no money to buy her new shoes But Lord please listen what I say Help me through this 'til I’m a free man And get sweet Sunday every day Sweet Sunday, sweet Sunday
