I Got Stripes (Folsom Rehearsal) Songtext
von Johnny Cash

On a monday I was arrested (uh huh)
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(uh huh)
On a tuesday they caught me with a file(oh boy)
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
