In The Jailhouse Now

I had a friend named Bill Campbell he used to rob steal and gamble
And on the side hed beg so he mopped up
I told him he shouldnt do it and Campbell told me he knew it
So he started beggin with a bucket instead of a cup
Hes in the jailhouse now (hes in the jailhouse now)
Hes in the jailhouse now (hes in the jailhouse now)
Well Campbell fluffed his dove when he wore a tuxedo to the country club
Hes in the jailhouse now (hes in the jailhouse now)
I met his old gal Sadie she said have you seen Billy lately
I said I dont believe that hes about
She went down to the jail she went down to take him his mail
Then she whispered sheriff please dont let him out
Hes in the jailhouse now (hes in the jailhouse now)
Hes in the jailhouse now ( hes in the jailhouse now)
While Campbells put away Sadies with the sheriff everyday
Hes in the jailhouse now (hes in the jailhouse now)
Well I remember the last election the prohibitionists were in action
Theys tryin to elect themselves a president
Bill Canpbell and John Austin walked from New Orleans to Boston
And theyve got a bottle in every settlement
Theyre in the jailhouse now (hes in the jailhouse now)
Theyre in the jailhouse now (hes in the jailhouse now)
They were down at the railroad track stealin a train to haul it back
Theyre in the jailhouse now (hes in the jailhouse now)
