In The Jailhouse Now

Well, I knew a man named Campbell

He'd cheat and steal and gamble

And I guess, he tried most everything lowdown

He was out tomcattin' last night

When he got in a great big fight

And then a big policeman came

And slapped him down

He's in the jailhouse now

(He's in the jailhouse now)

He's in the jailhouse now

(He's in the jailhouse now)

Well, I told him once or twice to quit

Drinkin' gin and shootin' dice

He's in the jailhouse now

Well, when I met Bill's old gal Saddie

And she said, "Have you seen my baby?"

And I told her, he was downtown in the can

Well, old Saddie she started fussin'

She went down to the jailhouse a cussin'

She said, "I come down here to get my man"

She's in the jailhouse now

(She's in the jailhouse now)

She's in the jailhouse now

(She's in the jailhouse now)

So you can understand how little old Saddie

Got throwed in the can

She's in the jailhouse now

Well, old Bill broke out one day

I guess, he thought he get away

But at the railway station they took him by the arm

The chief said, "I've come for you"

And Bill said, "Now, this won't do"

Because Bill Campbell never was my name

He's in the jailhouse now

(He's in the jailhouse now)

He's in the jailhouse now

(He's in the jailhouse now)

Well, old Bill he broke out

And all over town the fool walked about

He's in the jailhouse now

He's in the jailhouse now

(He's in the jailhouse now)

Well, I told him once or twice to quit

Drinkin' gin and shootin' dice

He's in the jailhouse now
