"On A Monday" lyrics

"On A Monday"

Last Monday, I was arrested
On a Tuesday, I was locked up in jail
On a Wednesday, my trial was attested
On a Thursday, nobody wouldn't go my bail

And I'm almost, almost done
Yes I'm almost, almost done
And I'm almost, almost done
And I ain't gonna bring them yellow women no pail

Take these stripes, stripes from around my shoulder
Take these chains, these chains from around my legs
Lord, these stripes, stripes sure don't worry me
But these chains, chain's is bound to kill me dead

And I'm almost, almost done
Yes I'm almost, almost done
And I'm almost, almost done
And I ain't gonna bring them yellow women no pail

On a Friday, my baby went out walking
On a Saturday, she locked me out doors
On a Sunday, we were sitting down and talking
On a Monday, she had pawned all of my clothes

And I'm almost, almost done
Yes I'm almost, almost done
And I'm almost, almost done
And I ain't gonna bring them yellow women no pail

And I'm almost, almost done
Yes I'm almost, almost done
And I'm almost, almost done
And I ain't gonna bring them yellow women no pail
And I ain't gonna bring them yellow women no pail
And I ain't gonna bring them yellow women no pail
