On a Mon-day. . .I was ar-res-ted
On a Tues-day. . . They locked me in jail
On a Wednes-day. . . My trial was at-tes-ted
On a Thurs-day. . . They said guil-ty and the

I got stripes. . . Stripes a-round my shoul-ders
I got chains. . . Chains a-round my feet
I got stripes. . . Stripes a-round my shoul-ders
And them chains, them chains,
they're bout to drag me down
