The James T. Callow Folklore Archive

MONDAY'S CHILD IS FAIR OF FACE,
TUESDAY'S CHILD IS FULL OF GRACE,
WEDNESDAY'S CHILD IS FULL OF WOE,
THURSDAY'S CHILD HAS FAR TO GO,
FRIDAY'S CHILD IS LOVING AND GIVING,
SATURDAY'S CHILD MUST WORK FOR A LIVING,
BUT THE CHILD BORN ON THE SABBOTH DAY
IS BONNY AND MERRY AND GLAD AND GAY.
