On a Monday - Lead Belly
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
Yes I'm all almost done
Yes I'm all almost done
Yes I'm all 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
Sure don't worry me
But these chains
These gonna kill me dead
Yes I'm all almost done
Yes I'm all almost done
Yes I'm all almost done
And I ain't gonna bring them
Yellow women no pail
On Saturday my baby went a-walking
On a Sunday she locked me
Outa the door
On a Monday
We were sitting down a-talking
On a Tuesday
She pawned all of my clothes
Yes I'm all almost done
Yes I'm all almost done
Yes I'm all almost done
And I ain't gonna bring them
Yellow women no pail
