[Verse 1]
Hurry, Tuesday child
It's time to be a-goin'
Your good news day child
Has come at last
Hold your chance in your dusty hand
One way ticket to a promised land
I understand

[Verse 2]
No more blues day child
Hard time is far behind you
Hurry, Tuesday child
Your fortune's gonna find you
Oh, the good life is just ahead
Satin shoes and a feather bed
Instead of

[Bridge]
"Yes ma'am, no sir, yes sir, right away, sir"
No more "Week's done, may I have my pay, sir?"
No more have to do, can't do, don't do
Here's your chance to do anything you want to do

[Verse 3]
Hurry, Tuesday child
Go on before it's too late
Dream comes trues-day child
Comes once and it won't wait
Slip all you own in a paper sack
Got nothin' to hold you, got nothin' to pack
You won't be back
[Outro]
Tuesday child
