On A Monday (I'm Almost Done) - Leadbelly
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
Stripes sure don't worry me
But these chains
These chain's 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
