On a Monday |
On a Monday, I was arrested |
On a Tuesday, I was locked up in jail |
On a Wednesday, 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, almost done, 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 Sunday, we were sitting down a-talking |
On a Monday, she pawned all of my clothes |
