Almost Done Lyrics
Almost Done - The Weavers
Written by：Trad Hellerman/Seeger
On a Monday I was arrested
On a Tuesday I was locked up in jail
On a Wednesday my trial was tested
On a Thursday nobody to give my bail
Lord it's all almost done lord it's all almost done
Oh lord it's all almost done
And I ain't gonna see those pretty girls no more
Take these stripes stripes them of my shoulder
Take these chains chains from around my legs
Well these stripes no they don't worry me
But these chains these chains are gonna kill me dead
Lord it's all almost done lord it's all almost done
Oh lord it's all almost done
And I ain't gonna see those pretty girls no more
Well she whispered she whispered to her mama
She said mama I can't see how he stands
'Cause he's only he's only sweet sixteen lord
But they're drive him they're driving him like a man
Lord it's all almost done lord it's all almost done
Oh lord it's all almost done
And I ain't gonna see those pretty girls no more
Well I know I know that someday
These gates these gates gonna open wide
And we'll be gone gone from here singin'
But the captain we've gonna leave him inside
Lord it's all almost done oh lord it's all almost done
Oh lord it's all almost done
And I ain't gonna see those pretty girls no more
