Lyrics I Got Stripes - Johnny Cash
On
a
Monday
I
was
arrested
On
a
Tuesday
they
locked
me
in
the
jail
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
'bout
to
drag
me
down
On
a
Monday
got
my
striped
britches
On
a
Tuesday
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
'bout
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,
Lord,
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
'bout
to
drag
me
down
