On a Monday Lyrics
On A Monday - Leadbelly
Written by：Traditional
On a Monday I was arrested
On a Tuesday I was locked up in jail
On a Wednesd ay my trial was attested
On a Thursday nobody would go my bail
Almost done I'm almost done almost done
And I ain't gonna bring them yellow women no pail
Take these stripes stripes from around my shoulder
Take these chains these chains from around my legs
Lord these stripes it sure don't worry me
But these chains these chain's gonna kill me dead
Yes I'm almost done
Yes I'm almost done
Yes I'm almost done
And I ain't gonna bring them yellow women no pail
On Friday my baby went a walking
On a Saturday she locked me outa the door
On a Monday we were sitting down a talking
On a Tuesday she pawned all of my clothes
Yes I'm almost done yes I'm almost done yes I'm almost done
And I ain't gonna bring them yellow women no pail
