The Weavers - Almost Done

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 give my bail



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



Take these stripes, stripes them of my shoulder

Take these chains, chains from around my legs

Well, these stripes, no they 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

Oh, 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 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, oh, Lord it's all, almost done

Oh, Lord it's all, almost done

And I ain't gonna see those pretty girls no more
