"I Got Stripes" is a song recorded by Johnny Cash.

Cash's version is credited to him and Charlie Williams,[3] but they borrowed from a song by Lead Belly titled "On a Monday".[4]

Lead Belly's original, also known as "Yellow Women's Door Bells" and "Almost Done", was recorded and released by him in 1939[5] and reflected his "prison experiences".[6]

Johnny Cash version

[edit | edit source]

The song was recorded by Cash on March 12, 1959[7][8] and released as a single in July,[9] with "Five Feet High and Rising" (another song from the same recording session) on the opposite side.[7][8][4][10][11][12][13][excessive citations]

According to Robert Hilburn and his book Johnny Cash: The Life, "I Got Stripes" is a "raucous prison tale" written by Johnny Cash and Charlie Williams, a DJ from Los Angeles and Cash's friend. They borrowed from a song by Lead Belly titled "On a Monday".[4]
