They picked me up
Put me in the county jail
They picked me up
Put me in the county jail
They wouldn't let my woman
Come and post my bail
Now I'm in prison
I've almost done my time
Now I'm in prison
I've almost done my time
They gave me six months
I had to work out nine
I know my baby
She's gonna jump and shout
I know my baby
She's gonna jump and shout
When the train comes in
And I come walking out
Take these stripes from around me
Chains from around my legs
Take these stripes from around me
Chains from around my legs
The stripes don't hurt me
The chains could kill me dead
