On a Monday
I was arrested
And on a Tuesday
I got locked up in jail
And on a Wednesday
My trial was attested
And on a Thursday
Nobody would go my bail
Yes I'm gone
Aaaalmost most gone
Yes I'm gone
I'm almost gone
Yes I'm gone
I'm almost gone
And I ain't going to be seein' them pretty women no more
Take these stripes
These stripes from off my shoulder
Take these chains
These chains from off-a my leg
Well these stripes
You know that they don't bother me
But these chains
These chains are k**in' me dead
Yes I'm gone
Aaaalmost most gone
Yes I'm gone
I'm almost gone
Yes I'm gone
I'm almost gone
And I ain't going to be seein' them pretty women no more
Now on a Friday
My baby went out walking
And on a Saturday
You know she locked up the door
And on a Sunday
She must have done some talkin'
Cause on a Monday
She had sold all o my clothes
Yes I'm gone
Almost most gone
Yes I'm gone
I'm almost gone
Yes I'm gone
I'm aaalmost gone
And I ain't going to be seein' them pretty women no more
