lyrics and chords

(Huddie Ledbetter)
(D) - (A) - (C) - (E)
(D) On a Monday, I was ar (A) rested
On a Tuesday, I was locked up in (D) jail
On a Wednesday, my trial was at (A) tested
On a Thursday, nobody would go my (D) bail
(D) Al (C) most (A) done, I'm almost (E) done, (D) al (C) most (A) done
And I ain't gonna bring them yellow women no (D) pail
Take these stripes, stripes from around my shoulder
Take these chains, these chains from around my legs
Lord, these stripes, it sure don't worry me
But these chains, these chain's gonna kill me dead
Yes, I'm almost done, almost done, 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 outa the door
On a Sunday, we were sitting down a-talking
On a Monday, she pawned all of my clothes

Fantastic!!

[tjoris51]

Jullie spelen heel lekker. Wat ondoorzichtige opname helaas, wat extra jammer is omdat zo op het gehoor iedereen klassewerk aflevert.

Instead of "yellow women no beer" go with "gallow women no beer", as in the guy isn't going to buy the girls any beer being sold by vendors to spectators at the public hangin'.

[Kelongde]

Yes, I like it. Good vocals, Nice swinging version.
