Doc Watson - In The Jailhouse Now Lyrics
I had a friend named Camble, eat, cheat and steal and gambleAnd I guess he tried most ever' thing low downHe was out tomcattin' one night when he started a great big fightThen a big policeman came and snapped him downHe's in the jailhouse now, he's in the jailhouse nowI told him once or twice to quit drinking gin and shootin' diceHe's in the jailhouse now'a-yodeleyie yodeleyie oh-ohoohdeleyie'a-yodeleyie odiyodeleyie e-iyodeleyie(break)Old Bill broke out one day, I guess he thought he'd get awayBut at the railroad station they took him by the armThe chief said "I've come for you" and Bil said "Now, this won't doBecause Bill Camble never was my name"He's in the jailhouse now, he's in the jailhouse nowOh yes, he broke out and all over town the fool walked aboutHe's in the jailhouse nowThen I met Bill's old gal Sadie and she said "Have you seen my baby?"And I told her he was down town in the canLitlle Sadie she started fussin', she went down to the jailhouse a-cussin'She sais "I come down here to get my man."She's in the jailhouse now, she's in the jailhouse nowSo you can understand why little old Sadie got throwed in the canShe's in the jailhouse nowI went out last tuesdea, met a sweet lillte gal named SuzieI'd say she was the sweetest thing aroundShe started to callin' me honey and we began to spent my moneyThen we got drunk and thought we owned the townWe're in the jailhouse now, we're int the jailhouse nowNext day we wanted to go but that old jailor he said "No!"We're in the jailhouse now'a-yodeleyie yodeleyie oh-ohohohdeleyie'a-yodeleyie odiyodeleyie a-ohiyodeleyie
