On a Monday I was arrested
00:03
On a Tuesday they locked me in the jail
00:06
On a Wednesday my trial was attested
00:12
On a Thursday they said guilty and the judge's gavel fell
00:17
I got stripes, stripes around my shoulders
00:21
I got chains, chains around my feet
00:26
I got stripes, stripes around my shoulders
00:31
And them chains, them chains, they're 'bout to drag me down
00:35
On a Monday got my striped britches
00:40
On a Tuesday got my ball and chain
00:45
On a Wednesday I'm workin' diggin' ditches
00:49
On a Thursday, Lord, I begged 'em not to knock me down again
00:54
I got stripes, stripes around my shoulders
00:58
I got chains, chains around my feet
01:03
I got stripes, stripes around my shoulders
01:08
And them chains, them chains, they're 'bout to drag me down
01:12
On a Monday my momma come to see me
01:19
On a Tuesday they caught me with a file
01:24
On a Wednesday I'm down in solitary
01:28
On a Thursday, Lord, I start on bread and water for a while
01:33
I got stripes, stripes around my shoulders
01:38
I got chains, chains around my feet
01:42
I got stripes, stripes around my shoulders
01:47
And them chains, them chains, they're 'bout to drag me down
01:51
02:00
Lyrics & Translation
[English]
On a Monday I was arrested
On a Tuesday they locked me in the jail
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 'bout 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 begged 'em 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, they're 'bout to drag me down
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
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 'bout to drag me down
