I Got Stripes — Johnny Cash

On A Monday I Was Ar-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
