I Got Stripes (Live)

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
