Lyrics for I Got Stripes - Live at Folsom State Prison, Folsom, CA (2nd Show) - January 1968

On a Monday I was arrested On a Tuesday they locked me in the jail (oh 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 about to drag me down On 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 I start 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 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
