I Got Stripes

In the style of

Johnny Cash

Lyrics

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 'bout to
drag me down
on a monday

got my
striped britches
on a tuesday
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 'bout to
drag me down

on a monday
my mama come
to see me
on a tuesday
they caught me
with a file

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
