On a Monday I was arrested
on a Tuesday I was locked up in jail
on a Wednesday my trial was attested
on a Thursday no one would go my bail
on a Saturday my baby went a walking
on a Sunday she locked me out the door
on a Monday we was sitting down a-talking
on a Tuesday she pawned all of my clothes

Think I muffed it a bit and it should just be 'Seven Days Too Long' actually, flapjax - old Northern Soul classic that Dexys covered. They liked their rarities in the Northern Soul scene so not surprising you won't have heard of it.

I see the Cat Stevens cover appears under a Saturday in the original post, but let's give a little love to the Sam Cooke original, shall we? The man had a golden voice.

What's a little surprising is this: Bob Dylan has never published a song with a day of the week in the title. Or am I forgetting one?

My guess would be that the word Tuesday is just a bit easier to sing than Wednesday or Thursday.

Bob Dylan did write Seven Days. I can't find a clip of him performing it, though.

Sure is. And there is of course, the incomparable Guinevere by CSN (this version just Crosby and Nash, live and beautiful) and Brian Wilson's incredible classic Caroline No.
