Paroles de I got stripes

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 about 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 workin' diggin' ditches
On a thursday, lord i'd begged them 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, uh, huh
On a tuesday, they caught me with a file, poor boy
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 about to drag me down
