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
