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 i'm all, almost down
Yes i know, almost dead
And i ain't 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 don't worry me
But these chains lord,
These chains are gonna get me dead
And i'm all, almost down
Yes i know, almost dead
And i'm all, almost down
Yes i know, almost dead
And i ain't 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 i'm all, almost down
Yes i know, almost dead
And i'm all, almost down
Yes i know, almost dead
And i ain't gonna bring them yellow can.
