Johnny Cash Album: Old Golden Throat Track: I Got Stripes I Got Stripes Lyrics (Johnny Cash - Charlie Williams) © '59 House Of Cash, BMI / Unichappell Music, BMI On a Monday I was arrested (uh huh) On a Tuesday they locked me in the jail (poor boy) On a Wednesday my trial was attested 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 bout to drag me down On a Monday got my striped britches (uh huh) On a Tuesday got my ball and chain (poor boy) On a Wednesday I'm working diggin' ditches On a Thursday Lord I begged them not to knock me down again I got stripes stripes around my shoulders... On a Monday my mama come to see me (uh huh) On a Tuesday they caught me with a file (poor boy) On a Wednesday I'm down on solitary On a Thursday Lord I start on a bread and water for awhile I got stripes stripes around my shoulders...
