Last Monday, I was arrested
On a Tuesday, locked up in jail
On a Wednesday, my trial was at tested
On a Thursday, nobody would go my bail

Yes, I'm almost done, almost done
Yes, I'm almost done, almost done
Yes, I'm almost done, almost done
And I ain't gonna see them pretty girls no more

Take these stripes, stripes from around my shoulder
Take these chains, chains from around my legs
Lord, these stripes, sure don't worry me
But these chains, chain's gonna kill me dead

Yes, I'm almost done, almost done
Yеs, I'm almost done, almost done
Yes, I'm almost donе, almost done
And I ain't gonna see them pretty girls no more

On a Saturday, me and my baby was walkin'
On a Sunday, she knocked me out her door
On a Monday, we was sittin' down talkin'
On Tuesday, she pawned all my clothes

Yes, I'm almost done, almost done
Yes, I'm almost done, almost done
Yes, I'm almost done, almost done
And I ain't gonna see them pretty girls no more
