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
