On Saturday Night
On Saturday Night
Nursery Rhyme
On Saturday night
Shall be all my care
To powder my locks
And curl my hair.
On Sunday morning
My love will come in.
When he will marry me
With a gold ring.
Notes
Here's slightly different wording from The Little Mother Goose (1912), illustrated by Jessie Willcox Smith:
On Saturday night, it shall be my care
To powder my locks and curl my hair.
On Sunday morning, my love will come in,
When he will marry me with a gold ring.
Comments
This rhyme and illustration can be found in The Real Mother Goose (1916), illustrated by Blanche Fisher Wright.
