On A Monday

On a Monday, I was arrested
 On a Tuesday I was locked up in jail
 On a Wednesday, my trial was contested
 On a Thursday nobody would pay my bail
 And Im all, almost down
 Yes I know, almost dead
 And I aint gonna bring them yellow can
 Take the straps, straps around my shoulders
 Take these chains, these chains around my legs
 Lord these straps, these straps dont worry me
 But these chains lord,
 These chains are gonna get me dead
 And Im all, almost down
 Yes I know, almost dead
 And Im all, almost down
 Yes I know, almost dead
 And I aint gonna bring them yellow can
 On a Friday, my baby went on walking
 On a Saturday, she locked me out of that door
 On a Sunday, we sat down to talking
 On a Monday she part all of my blues
 And Im all, almost down
 Yes I know, almost dead
 And Im all, almost down
 Yes I know, almost dead
 And I aint gonna bring them yellow can.
