《 Johnny Cash - I Got Stripes 》

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

Hey, this microphone's got a screw loose here

Somebody come screw this microphone?

What I say?

Just a minute, lemme fix this son of alright
