Comment and vote, folks!Lyrics on Video too:
On a Monday I was arrested
On a Tuesday I was locked up in jail
On a Wednesday my trial was tested
On a Thursday nobody to go my bail
Lord it's all, almost done, Lord it's all, almost done
Lord it's all, almost done
And I ain't gonna see those pretty girls no more
Take these stripes, stripes from of my shoulder
And take these chains, chains from around my legs
Well, these stripes, these stripes sure don't worry me
But these chains, these chains are gonna kill me dead
Lord it's all, almost done, Lord it's all, almost done
Oh, Lord it's all, almost done
And I ain't gonna see those pretty girls no more
Well, she whispered, she whispered to her mama
She said Mama I can't see how he stands
'Cause he's only, he's only sweet sixteen, Lord
But they're drive him, they're driving him like a man"
Lord it's all, almost done, Lord it's all, almost done
Lord it's all, almost done
And I ain't gonna see those pretty girls no more
Well, I know, I know that someday
These dear gates, these gates gonna open wide
And we'll be gone, gone from here singin'
But the captain, we've gonna leave him inside.
Lord it's all, almost done, Lord it's all, almost done
Lord it's all, almost done
And I ain't gonna see those pretty girls no more
