Guy Clark - In The Jailhouse Now Lyrics

Font:      
Align:    
  • 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 ]
