On A Monday I Was Arrested (Uh Huh)
On A Tuesday They Locked Me In The Jail (Poor 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 Bout 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 Working Digging’ Ditches
On A Thursday Lord I Begged Them Not To Knock Me Down Again
I Got Stripes Stripes Around My Shoulders…
On A Monday My Mama Come To See Me (Uh Huh)
On A Tuesday They Caught Me With A File (Poor Boy)
On A Wednesday I’m Down On Solitary
On A Thursday Lord I Start On A Bread And Water For Awhile
I Got Stripes Stripes Around My Shoulders…
