On a Monday, I was ar-rested (uh huh)
On a Tuesday, they locked me in jail (poor boy)
On a Wednesday, my trial was at-tested
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 about to drag me down

On a Monday, my mamma come to see me
On a Tuesday, they caught me with a file
On a Wednesday, I'm down in solitary
On a Thursday, I started on bread and water for a while

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 about to drag me down

On a Monday, I got my striped britches
On a Tuesday, I got my ball and chain
On a Wednesday, I'm working digging ditches
On a Thursday, Lord I begged 'em not to knock me down again

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 about to drag me down
