In The Jailhouse Now
Lyricist:Jimmie Rodgers
I had a friend named Bill Campbell He used to rob, steal and gamble And on the side he'd beg So he mopped up
Well, I told ol' Billy shouldn't do it And ol' Bill said that he knew it So he started beggin' with a bucket Instead of a cup
He's in the jailhouse now He's in the jailhouse now Now ol' Bill fluffed his dove When he wrote a tuxedo to the country club He's in the jailhouse now
Now Bill had a gal named Sadie And she said have you seen Billy lately Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com No I don't believe that he's about
But ol' Sadie went down to the jail It was just to pay his bail Then she whispered Sheriff please don't let him out
He's in the jailhouse now He's in the jailhouse now It was while ol' Bill's away Sadie's with the sheriff everyday He's in the jailhouse now
Oh, you remember the last election, yeah The prohibitionists was in action Tryin' to elect themselves a president
And Bill Campbell and John Austin They rode from New Orleans to Boston [Incomprehensible]bottle in every settlement
They're in the jailhouse now They're in the jailhouse now Lord they caught them down by the railroad track Stealin' a train to haul it back They're in the jailhouse now
