Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Leadbelly's On A Monday aka Almost D

Well, printed sources or not, Leadbelly certainly doesnt sing "I got stripes" on the recording I have. He sings
"Take these stripes, stripes from round my shoulders
Take these chains, chains from round my legs"

The chorus is certainly
"And I ain't gonna ring them yellow women's doorbells".
