(D) - (A) - (C) - (E)

|
(D) On a Monday, I was ar (A) rested
|
On a Tuesday, I was locked up in (D) jail
|
On a Wednesday, my trial was at (A) tested
|
On a Thursday, nobody would go my (D) bail
|
(D) Al (C) most (A) done, I'm almost (E) done, (D) al (C) most (A) done
|
And I ain't gonna bring them yellow women no (D) pail
|
|
Take 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 dead
|
|
Yes, I'm almost done, almost done, almost done
|
And I ain't gonna bring them yellow women no pail
|
|
On Friday, my baby went a-walking
|
On a Saturday, she locked me outa the door
|
On a Sunday, we were sitting down a-talking
|
On a Monday, she pawned all of my clothes
