Lyrics

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, 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 down
