In The Jailhouse Now

歌詞

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 but 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 [ yodel ] Now Bill had a gal named Saddie and she said have you seen Billy lately No I don't believe that he's about But ol' Saddie went down to the jail she it was just to take him his mail 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 Saddie's with the sheriff everyday he's in the jailhouse now [ yodel ] [ piano - guitar ] [ yodel ] Well I remember the last election the prohibitionists were in action Tryin' to elect themselves a president Bill Canpbell and John Austin they rode from New Orleans to Boston And they've got a bottle in every settlement They're in the jailhouse now they're in the jailhouse now Lord they caught them out by the railroad track Stealin' a train to haul it back they're in the jailhouse now [ yodel ]
