Below, I translated the lyrics of the song I Got Stripes [DVD] by Johnny Cash from German to English.
These English lyric translations are not yet verified.
I was arrested
I was arrested
They locked me in the jail
They locked me in the jail
On a Wednesday
On a Wednesday
My trial was attested
My trial was attested
On a Thursday
On a Thursday
They said guilty and
They said guilty and
The Judge's gavel fell
The Judge's gavel fell
I got stripes
I got stripes
Stripes around my shoulders
Stripes around my shoulders
Chains around my feet
Chains around my feet
I got stripes
I got stripes
Stripes around my shoulders
Stripes around my shoulders
And them chains, them chains
And them chains, them chains
They're about to drag me down
They're about to drag me down
My momma come to see me
My momma comes to see me
They caught me with a file
They caught me with a file
On a Wednesday
On a Wednesday
I'm down in solitary
I'm down in solitary
On a Thursday
On a Thursday
I start on bread and water for a while
I start on bread and water for a while
I got stripes
I got stripes
Stripes around my shoulders
Stripes around my shoulders
Chains around my feet
Chains around my feet
I got stripes
I got stripes
Stripes around my shoulders
Stripes around my shoulders
And them chains, them chains
And them chains, them chains
They're about to drag me down
They're about to drag me down
I got stripes
I got stripes
Stripes around my shoulders
Stripes around my shoulders
Chains around my feet
Chains around my feet
I got stripes
I got stripes
Stripes around my shoulders
Stripes around my shoulders
And them chains, them chains
And them chains, them chains
They're about to drag me down
They're about to drag me down
