They pick me out and put me in the county jail They pick me out and put me in the county jail They wouldn't even let my woman come and go my bail Now I'm in prison, but I've almost did my time Now I'm in prison, but I've almost did my time They give me six months, but I had to work out nine 'Cause I know my baby - she's gonna jump and shout I know my baby - she's gonna jump and shout When that train roll up and I come walking out Now play 'em, Mister Tampa So take these stripes from around me, chains from around my neck These stripes from around me, and these chains from around my neck Well, these stripes don't hurt me, but these chains oughta give me death
