I know Nirvana covered this song and I think it's pretty cool a more modern artist would appreciate an older one. Leadbelly was the...gosh, long time ago, huh? Anyway, I love this song. I sing it all the time...quite catchy. I think it's about Sunday's being sacred to religious people and you should do all your "bad stuff" on other days. But, to be truly religious, you have to be good all the time. So I think this song is being sarcastic to "Sunday religion" people.
