On A Monday Lyrics - Traveler - Jerry Douglas

On a Monday, I was arrested 

On a Tuesday, I was locked up in jail 

On a Wednesday, my trial was attested 

On a Thursday, nobody would go my bail 

Almost done, I'm almost done, 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, 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
