In the Jailhouse Now Lyrics


I had a friend named Camble, eat, cheat and steal and gamble
And I guess he tried most ever' thing low down
He was out tomcattin' one night when he started a great big fight
Then a big policeman came and snapped him downHe's in the jailhouse now, he's in the jailhouse now
I told him once or twice to quit drinking gin and shootin' dice
He's in the jailhouse nowA-yodeleyie, yodeleyie, oh-ohoohdeleyie
A-yodeleyie, odiyodeleyie, e-iyodeleyieOld Bill broke out one day, I guess he thought he'd get away
But at the railroad station they took him by the arm
The chief said, "I've come for you", and Bil said, "Now this won't do
Because Bill Camble never was my name"He's in the jailhouse now, he's in the jailhouse now
Oh yes, he broke out and all over town the fool walked about
He'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 can
Litlle Sadie she started fussin'
She went down to the jailhouse a-cussin'
She says, "I come down here to get my man"She's in the jailhouse now, she's in the jailhouse now
So you can understand why little old Sadie got throwed in the can

She's in the jailhouse nowI went out last Tuesday, met a sweet little gal named Suzie
I'd say she was the sweetest thing around
She started to callin' me honey and we began to spent my money
Then we got drunk and thought we owned the townWe're in the jailhouse now, we're in the jailhouse now
Next day we wanted to go but that old jailer he said, "No"
We're in the jailhouse nowA-yodeleyie, yodeleyie, oh-ohohohdeleyie
A-yodeleyie, odiyodeleyie, a-ohiyodeleyie

Enjoy the lyrics !!!
