Johnny Cash - I Got Stripes Lyrics
On A Monday I Was Ar-rested (Uh Huh)
On A Tuesday They Locked Me In The Jail (Oh Boy)
On A Wednesday My Trial Was At-tested
On A Thursday They Said Guilty And The Judge's Gavel Fell
I Got Chains - Chains Around My Feet
I Got Stripes - Stripes Around My Shoulders
And Them Chains - Them Chains They're About To Drag Me Down
On A Monday My Momma Come To See Me
On A Tuesday They Caught Me With A File
On A Wednesday I'm Down In Solitary
On A Thursday I Start On Bread And Water For A While
I Got Stripes - Stripes Around My Shoulders
I Got Stripes - Stripes Around My Shoulders
And Them Chains - Them Chains They're About To Drag Me Down
I Got Stripes - Stripes Around My Shoulders
I Got Chains - Chains Around My Feet
I Got Stripes - Stripes Around My Shoulders
And Them Chains - Them Chains They're About To Drag Me

John Marston at Sisika
I love jonney cash the new country songs are about girls and stuff and Jonny has this nice voice it's not crazy like the new music
Johnny cash spent a Day in jail and he is A Outlaw
One of the best
I would appreciate even prison. Basically anything that doesn't harm those i love, or others for that matter, i would still try to improve the quality of life for my peers.
Yeah, decent vid but do us a favour and don't edit out the "Lord" from the lyrics next time. Atheism isn't edgy and God was important to Johnny Cash; He is also important to me.
starved*
Damn Them Jug des

I got stripes
This reminds me on time in jail...
"I Got Stripes" is a song co-written and originally recorded by Johnny Cash. The song was recorded by Cash on March 12, 1959 for his third Columbia album ...
Incorrect...look up leadbelly
I'm pretty sure it's "poor boy" not "oh boy" listen to it again....
@askimsuger on thuesday it called poor boy not oh boy in the text
2019 anyone ?
Unfortunately your wrong
I didn't know you got weekends off in prison.
love it
Theme song for the falsely accused...
He don't feel sorry for himself because he is a man. He now's wasn't nobodies fault but his so why cry about it
https://youtu.be/765b-T5P450
Aaaaaaaaaannnnd.... replay
This song was written for Hilary Clinton
1 part he says "lord i begged" 0:55

Love this song.

Johnny Cash yeah!!!! I got stripes who else does
168 losers who love the Kardashians disliked this!
starved on bread and water, not start
Funny how NWA claim to have created the 'gangsta' image...
Poor boy not oh boy.
I don't like country. But I love ma Johnny!
jail house cooking, 500 degrees, 15 minutes, done or not, she's coming out.
This is an AWESOME song.
This is for Trump
"I" und Wochentage werden groß geschrieben; außerdem singt er "they locked me INTO jail". Kurz kluggeschissen; hat mir in den Augen weh getan.
originally composed by leadberry - on monday
I dedicate this to my past
Play the fucking thing
I like everything about how Johnny cash was. How he played his guitar, how he sung, how he was in general.
Great video! I could be wrong, but aren't they saying "poor boy" instead of oh boy? not that it really matters
a true rebel
Could anybody else see this Cash song in particular in a Fallout game?
I could've seen this in Fallout New Vegas
Grim William Definitely
Good job, fellow - to post the text for those who may not know... To me, Johnny has been one of my "English teachers". Greetings from Germany...
Don't forget John
This is dedicated to the future prison inmate, Donald Trump.
Edward Branca how'd that go
It’s Mr President to you punk bitch
Buddy Holly I will cut you ʕ•ᴥ•ʔ
How is that gonna happen ?
@vicke: there s nothing commercial in JC it's the total opposite of all the shit commercial things
one of my all time favorite. artists
i love johnny cash mein idol♡♡♡
Gino Gantner I love him more hahaha no homo tho I love all his songs all his workers and their back story's also how he met his first wife. Very charming guy back in the day first he was a nobody then turned a stunning celebrity signer how fun.
been there!!!!
OMG EPOUSE MOI FAIS MOI DES GOSSES JE TE VEUX EN MOI
wsh un fantôme peut pas te bz
Quelle voix
nice cover but I'm sorry I prefer to jhony cash
This is Johnny you dumbass
your such a dumbass
This is a cover Johnny Cash stoled this song from Leadbelly who recorded this in 1927 (4 years before Cash was even born)
love this man
This song undoubtedly proves that cash was a true gangsta rapper
he's the first
+zap rowsdower that's what I keep saying. So many people stereotype him as one genre. They must know he was so much more than country. In my opinion, he redesigned country into Americana, he fused elements of multiple genre's. Now that I think about it, he was never country he was simply CASH.
The Last Outlaw except Johnny Cash stoled this song from Huddie Leadbetter this was HIS song from 1927 (before Cash was even born)
White Tim Cash also stole "Cocaine Blues" from Woody Guthrie
I am comforted by these lyrics.
I was bored so I made a cover to the song , I got stripes
On a monday, I was employed
On a tuesday, they locked me in the office
On a wednesday, my patience was tested
On a thursday they said they wanted me here during the weekend too.
I got stripes --- stripes around my shoulders
I got chains --- chains around my feet
I got stripes --- stripes around my shoulders
And them chains --- them chains they're about to drag me down
On a monday the boss was yellin at me
On a tuesday I got my ball sack all dried up,
On a wednesday I'm workin' workin workin,
On a thursday lord I begged 'em not to call me up again.
I got stripes --- stripes around my shoulders
I got chains --- chains around my feet
I got stripes --- stripes around my shoulders
And them chains --- them chains they're about to drag me down
On a monday I decided to pack my belongings
On a tuesday they saw me on the highway
On a wednesday I'm down in Biggar, saskatchewan,
On a thursday I start on the rails to Parry sound.
I got liberated --- naked in the garden of allah
I got freedom --- hard to say im sorry,
If you leave me now --- Will you still love me
I might be gone --- forever in Chicago
Pharaoh Atem u remind me of Eugene from the walking dead lol
@Jet fair enough lol i have to say its the fist time i have ever heard that.
this is not a parody, its a version, adaptation of his own life. is almoust like a cover... his song already is comic...
amazing comment with a nice nod to Canada ;)
Dude that sucked dont quit your day job
best song ever!!!!!!!!!!RIP cash
Up at court tomorrow. I could be wearing stripes for a while.
Mathew Smith Iittle late but what’d you do?
Mathew Smith congrats on finishing your term.
probably caught with possession of a controlled substance
Bless you
I know all about it, adult probation is a bitch tho
Thank god, Harry brought me here, I love this song!!
Who the hell is harry .... cash all the way
... and on a Friday Lord, I got out on work release again! Lol
+evan jonathan not at all in my book. Blacks have NAACP, Mexicants LaRaza, whites have the KKK.
Jeff Stinnett yeah I agree. And also I like your profile pic.
GhostFire 689... Thank you, Buddy Holly is my favorite but I love Johnny too, as I do Marilyn
Jeff Stinnett yeah buddy holly Waylon Jennings and Johnny cash are the dudes
Hooba Dooba Rave on friend
i may be a gamer but i am a huge fan of his music but he died after a year i was born that was my dream even though he used drugs he make pretty good songs rest in peace johnny cash we all remember you
+court plays MSP I honestly think he let his health go after June died
+myles Wilson if June didn't die he would probably be here today
+myles Wilson after June died he just didn't see a point in liveing live an I understand how he feels 100%
@dragon born yep
Damn, only a year? And here I had been thinking that I was young.
POOR BOY NOT ... OH BOY
@aurora caviglia in this recording it's poor boy, but most other recordings of this song both studio and live are oh boy
@Durnik IN MOST OF RECORDINGS I HEARD POOR BOY... also live i heard the poor boy =) ... sorry for my bad grammar...i'm italian and i do not speak good english... however magnificent song.. =D
+aurora caviglia I'm Italian American what are the odds lol
Johnny Cash is my hero
Korbin Cole Strongly agree he’s my hero too
Korbin Cole me too I’m only eleven when I say I like him at school all my friends are like who in hell is that
as much as johnny sings about trials and tribulations he never seems to feel sorry for himself. he takes it like a man.
@chandler babin Actually he spent more than one night in jail (seven in fact) he was arrested numerous times for minor misdemeanors. Granted, he never got worse punishment than a slap on the wrist and a night in jail.
Because he had millions of dollars he didn't give a shit lol
You have your responses and each one of them valid but your comment is what attracts me to him.
I haven't spent any time in jail but his stories speak to me as a man and I love them
How much time you done there Chandler babblin?
YOU WON'T FIND ANY COUNTRY ANYWHERE IN MY TRACKS! BUT MORE CASH THEN YOU CAN HANDLE!
DIRECTIONERS Reportandose con un Mg en 3...2...1...
