On A Monday - 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

Now I’m almost (almost) done, yes I'm almost (almost) done, yes I’m almost (almost) done 
And I ain't gonna bring them yellow women no pail

Take these stripes, stripes from ‘round my shoulder 
Take these chains, these chains from ‘round my legs 
Lord these stripes, these stripes don't worry me 
But these chains, Lord these chain's gonna kill me dead

Now 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 Friday, my baby went a-walking 
On a Saturday, she locked me outta that door 
On a Sunday, we were sitting down a-talking
On a Monday, she pawned all of my clothes

Now 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

Now 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
