歌词
On a Monday
I was arrested (uh huh)
On 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 (uh-huh)
On a Tuesday
Got my ball and chain (poor boy)
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
They're 'bout to drag me down
On a Monday
My momma come to see me (uh-huh)
On a Tuesday
They caught me with a file (poor boy)
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
