I Got Stripes Lyrics
On a Monday, I was arrestedOn a Tuesday, they locked me in the jail (oh boy)
On a Wednesday, my trial was attested
On a Thursday, they said guilty and the Judge's gavel fell
I got stripes, stripes around my shoulders
I got chains, chains around my feet
I got stripes, stripes around my shoulders
And them chains them chains they're about to drag me down
On a Monday, got my striped britches
On a Tuesday, got my ball and chain
On a Wednesday, I'm workin' diggin' ditches
On a Thursday, Lord I'd begged them not to knock me down again
On a Monday, my momma come to see me
On a Tuesday, they caught me with a file
On a Wednesday, I'm down in solitary
On a Thursday, Lord I start on bread and water for a while
