On A Monday I Was Ar-rested (Uh Huh)

On A Tuesday They Locked Me In The Jail (Oh Boy)

On A Wednesday My Trial Was At-tested

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
