[Intro — Telecaster pickup; fiddle answers as the full band settles into a steady shuffle] [Verse 1] First truck came at seven, Brought a colt she’d booked last week. He asked me what we’d charge to start him; I said, “She’s the one to see.” She shook his hand beside the trailer, Led that young colt through the gate. I went out to check the cattle, Let her get on with her day. [Chorus] Still here come Monday, With another week to face. She’ll be workin’ with those young colts; I’ll be checkin’ on this place. Some weeks leave us short of money, Some weeks give a little back. We’ll still be here come Monday, And we’ll give it what we have. [Turnaround — piano and pedal steel] [Verse 2] I backed the water trailer To the lean-to by the shed. Hung that chain up on a nail, Still had tin to patch overhead. We ate our lunch out on the tailgate, Had a little time to spare. She told me how that colt was doin’. I was glad to just be there. [Chorus] Still here come Monday, With another week to face. She’ll be workin’ with those young colts; I’ll be checkin’ on this place. Some weeks leave us short of money, Some weeks give a little back. We’ll still be here come Monday, And we’ll give it what we have. [Instrumental — 8 bars; Telecaster and fiddle trade four bars each] [Bridge — ease back to acoustic guitar, piano, and bass] Come Friday, we’ll go hear our boy, Let him blow us both away. Take Sunday with the folks we love, Save some room for those good days. [Final Chorus — full band returns; warm harmony vocals] Still here come Monday, With another week to face. She’ll be workin’ with those young colts; I’ll be checkin’ on this place. Some weeks leave us short of money, Some weeks give a little back. We’ll still be here come Monday, And we’ll give it what we have. [Tag — lead vocal with harmony answer; hold the final phrase] We’ll still be here come Monday, And we’ll give it what we have.
