On a Mon-day...I was ar-res-ted,
On a Tues-day...They locked me in a cell,
On a Wednes-day...They heard my hear-in'
On a Thurs-day... I was back in jail a-gain.
I got stripes...Stripes a-round my shoul-ders
I got stripes...Stripes a-round my feet
I got stripes...Stripes a-round my shoul-ders
And them chains, them chains,
That drag me, down to ground.
