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 |
