Verse 1 She called him up on a Wednesday night, She asked him, "Darlin', is everything alright?" He was mighty glad to hear her say, "I love you, boy, and pray you're full of joy." He said, "Mama, could you come see me Friday? Oh, I need you, please come my way." But she was tied up real bad, couldn't break free, Ooooh... If only she knew, if only she could see... Chorus When she told him, "Sweetheart, maybe on Monday," She didn't know things wouldn't go her way. She knew that he truly needed her near, It ain't that she didn't care. But, listen to this truth my frien’, let it hit home….. When you're waitin' on Monday, maybe Monday won't come. maybe Monday won't come…… Verse 2 She heard it later on the TV screen, Words that would break her in between. Her precious baby boy, Her handsome pride and joy. He listened close to the whisperin' call, Chose to answer it and give up on it all. And before the light of next Monday dawned, That precious life was gone. Chorus When she told him, "Sweetheart, maybe on Monday," She didn't know things wouldn't go her way. She knew that he truly needed her near, It ain't that she didn't care. But, listen to this truth my frien’, let it hit home….. When you're waitin' on Monday, maybe Monday won't come maybe Monday won't come…… Outro You don't know the reason why, You might say, "They had too much to live for, by and by." But when a soul is losin' their shore, When they ain't sure what they're fightin' for, You go to see them, when they say come, you go. Because maybe on Monday, that life would be no more Maybe on Monday, that life would be no more…..
