I Got Stripes
** INTRO **
On a Monday I was arrested On a Tuesday they locked me in jail
On a Wednesday my trial was attested
On a Thursday theyd 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, the'yre about to drag me down
On a Monday got my striped britches
On a Tuesday I got my ball and chain
On a Wednesday I'm workin' diggin' ditches
On a Thursday, Lord, I begged them not to knock me down again
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, the'yre about to drag me down
On a Monday my mama came to see me.
On a Tuesday they caught me with a file
On a Wednesday I'm down in soitary
On a Thursday, Lord, I start on bread and water for a while
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, the'yre about to drag me down
