I Got Stripes

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 i was ar-rested (uh huh)

On a tuesday they locked me in the jail (oh boy)

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
