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 About 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 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 About To Drag Me Down
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
