英文老歌: Monday Morning - Peter Paul and Mary

Peter、Paul 和 Mary 是美國最有影響的三人鄉村民歌組合，一起演唱的曆史五十餘載。直到 Mary 2009年去世，Peter 和 Paul 改為二人組合繼續合作。

Peter、Paul 和 Mary 的歌淺吟地唱，如泣如訴，吐字清晰，悠緩綿長。像在草地上與你促膝談心，像在病床前為你療傷，又像在壁爐旁給你講一個久遠的故事。

1962年他們的第一隻歌《Lemon Tree》就成為經典。

1963年他們又唱了《Puff the Magic Dragon》和《Blowin' in the Wind》，又皆是傳世之作。

1966年John Denver寫出《Leaving on A Jet Plane》，由Peter、Paul 和 Mary 演唱的這首歌是公認影響最大的版本。（下載：cdn.wenxuecity.com/upload/media/22/8f/e3/mUTCxwLK4007.mp3）

1970年三人曾散夥，主要原因是Peter因性侵犯一位十四歲的少女而被捕入獄。後來被卡特總統特赦（美國總統有個特權，即在卸任時可以任意特赦一批自己想釋放的罪犯）。隨後三人又重新組合。

               《Monday Morning》

Early one mornin' one mornin' in spring
To hear the birds whistle the nightingales sing
I met a fair maiden who sweetly did sing
I'm going to be married next Monday morning.

How old are you my fair young maid,
Here in this valley this valley so green
How old are you my fair young maid,
I'm goin' to be sixteen next Monday mornin'.

Well sixteen years old, that's too young for to marry
So take my advice, five years longer to tarry
For marriage brings troubles and sorrows begin
So put off your wedding for Monday mornin'.

You talk like a mad man, a man with no skill
Two years i've been waiting against my own will
Now i'm determined to have my own way
And i'm going to be married next Monday mornin'

And next Monday mornin' the bells they will ring
And my true love will buy me a gay gold ring
Also he'll buy me a new pretty gown
To wear at my wedding next Monday mornin'

Next Monday night when i go to my bed
And i turn round to the man that i've wed
Around his middle my two arms i will fling,
And i wish to my soul it was Monday mornin'.

"像在草地上與你促膝談心，像在病床前為你療傷，又像在壁爐旁給你講一個久遠的故事。" 說得太好了！

他們的實在太好聽,我小時在香港常聽,現在也是,還有Bee Gees,Micheal Jackson小時候唱的老歌Neil Diamond,Simon & Garfukel, The Eagles,The animals,Tom Jones,等等,百聽不厭,小時候聽的白光,吳鶯音,等等唱的老歌現在也會,也喜歡聽, 但七四年到美國後,不聽中文歌了,所以斷了層,
