george jones - i got stripes lyrics
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.
(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.
(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…
