I Got Stripes
George Jones & Johnny Cash
(Johnny) On a Monday I was arrested On a Tuesday they locked me in the jail (oh yeah) On a Wednesday my trial was attested On a Thursday they said guilty and the judges gavel fell.
(Both) I got stripes, stripes around my shoulder I got chains, chains around my feet I got stripes, stripes around my shoulder And them chains, them chain they're about to drag us down.
(George) On a Monday I got my striped britches And on a Tuesday I got my ball and chain And on a Wednesday I'm a workin' kid in ditches And on Thursay I begged 'em not to knock me down again.

(Johnny) On a Monday my moma come to see me On a Tuesday they caught me with a file (George) On a Wednesday I'm down in solitary And on Thursday John, I sobbed around bread and water for awhile
(Both) I got stripes, stripes around my shoulder I got chains, chains around my feet I got stripes, stripes around my shoulder And them chains, them chain they're about to drag us down...
