On a Monday Lyrics

On a Monday, I was arrested
On a Tuesday, I was locked up in jail
On a Wednesday, my trial was attested
On a Thursday, nobody would go my bailAlmost done, I'm almost done, almost done
And I ain't gonna bring them yellow women no pailTake these stripes, stripes from around my shoulder
Take these chains, these chains from around my legs
Lord, these stripes, it sure don't worry me
But these chains, these chain's gonna kill me deadYes, I'm almost done, almost done, almost done
And I ain't gonna bring them yellow women no pailOn Friday, my baby went a-walking
On a Saturday, she locked me outta the door
On a Sunday, we were sitting down a-talkingOn a Monday, she pawned all of my clothes
