I Got Stripes

Johnny Cash - 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
