I Got Stripes lyrics
Song information
Artist: Johnny Cash Album: Songs Of Our Soil
Lyrics
On a monday I was ar-rested (uh huh) On a tuesday they locked me in jail (poor 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 I got my stripe-ed britches On a tuesday I 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 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
