What has swept this continent

Hello there, I love you and the one who holds you tight

Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday Thursday, Friday, Sat'day night
A7 D G
On the bedpost overnight

A dollar is a dollar and a dime is a dime
N.C.
He's singin' out the chorus But he hasn't got the time
A7 D G
On the bedpost overnight, yeah
