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 us down
On a Monday I got my striped britches
And on a Tuesday got my ball and chain
And on a Wednesday I'm working digging ditches
And on a Thursday John 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 us down
ย
On A Monday my momma came to see me
On A Tuesday they caught me with a file
On A Wednesday I'm down in solitary
And on A Thursday John 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 us down
