Below, you will find the lyrics for I Got Stripes by Johnny Cash.
On a Monday I was are-rested
On a Tuesday they locked me in the jail
On a Wednesday my trial was at-tested
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 about 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 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 about to drag me down
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 about to drag me
