Letra de I Got Stripes (1988 Version)
On a Monday I was arrested On a Tuesday they locked me in the jail On a Wednesday my trial was attested On a Thursday they said guilty and the judge's gavel fellI 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 downOn a Monday got my striped britches On a Tuesday got my ball and chain On a Wednesday I'm workin' diggin' ditches On a Thursday, Lord, I begged 'em not to knock me down againI 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 downOn 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, Lord, I start on bread and water for a whileI 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
