On a Monday - Arlo Guthrie

On a Monday

I was arrested

And on a Tuesday

I got locked up in jail

And on a Wednesday

My trial was attested

And on a Thursday

Nobody would go my bail

Yes I’m gone

Aaaalmost most gone

Yes I’m gone

I’m almost gone

Yes I’m gone

I’m almost gone

And I ain’t going to be seein' them pretty women no more

Take these stripes

These stripes from off my shoulder

Take these chains

These chains from off-a my leg

Well these stripes

You know that they don’t bother me

But these chains

These chains are killin' me dead

Yes I’m gone

Aaaalmost most gone

Yes I’m gone

I’m almost gone

Yes I’m gone

I’m almost gone

And I ain’t going to be seein' them pretty women no more

Now on a Friday

My baby went out walking

And on a Saturday

You know she locked up the door

And on a Sunday

She must have done some talkin'

Cause on a Monday

She had sold all o my clothes

Yes I’m gone

Almost most gone

Yes I’m gone

I’m almost gone

Yes I’m gone

I’m aaalmost gone

And I ain’t going to be seein' them pretty women no more
