[Verse 1]
Last Saturday night I looked like a princess dressed in calico
Now blue Monday washday I look like a lady hobo

[Chorus]
Just rubbing and a scrubbing and a rinsing them out
I gotta hang them out early I hope the sun comes out
(Wash them out ring them out hang them on the line
Get a little tired just think about the good times) washday blues

[Verse 2]
Now I ain't never been very lucky I ain't never won a prize
But I'd like to get a job on TV for some of that soap they advertise

[Chorus]
Rubbing and a scrubbing and a rinsing them out
I gotta hang them out early I hope the sun comes out
(Wash them out ring them out hang them on the line
Get a little tired just think about the good times) washday blues

[Verse 3]
Well that's good looking' good loving' no good man of mine
Could buy me a washing' machine
But he spends all his money on payday to make me look like a queen

[Chorus]
Now rubbing and a scrubbing and a rinsing them out
I gotta hang them out early I hope the sun comes out
(Wash them out ring them out hang them on the line
Get a little tired just think about the good times) washday blues
