Текст песни I Got Stripes (George Jones) с переводом

George Jones & Johnny Cash

(Johnny)

On a Monday I was arrested

On a Tuesday they locked me in the jail (oh yeah)

On a Wednesday my trial was attested

On a Thursday they said guilty and the judges gavel fell

(Both)

I got stripes, stripes around my shoulder

I got chains, chains around my feet

I got stripes, stripes around my shoulder

And them chains, them chain they’re about to drag us down

(George)

On a Monday I got my striped britches

And on a Tuesday I got my ball and chain

And on a Wednesday I’m a workin' kid in ditches

And on Thursay I begged 'em not to knock me down again

(Both)

I got stripes, stripes around my shoulder

I got chains, chains around my feet

I got stripes, stripes around my shoulder

And them chains, them chain they’re about to drag us down

(Johnny)

On a Monday my moma come to see me

On a Tuesday they caught me with a file

(George)

On a Wednesday I’m down in solitary

And on Thursday John, I sobbed around bread and water for awhile

(Both)

I got stripes, stripes around my shoulder

I got chains, chains around my feet

I got stripes, stripes around my shoulder

And them chains, them chain they’re about to drag us down…
