Lyrics
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
