I Got Stripes
 作词 : John Ronald Cash
 作曲 : John Ronald Cash
On a Monday I was ar-rested (uh huh)
On a Tuesday they locked me in jail (poor boy)
On a Wednesday my trial was at-tested
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 I got my stripe-ed britches
On a Tuesday I got my ball and chain
On a Wednesday I'm workin' diggin' ditches
On a Thursday lord I begged 'em not to knock me down again
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
