| Remember last election |
| Everybody was in action |
| Tryin' to find themselves a president |
| There was a man named Lawson |
| From New York down to Boston |
| Representing the colored people we had sent |
| My brother was a voter |
| Also a great promoter |
| Goin' round givin' advice |
| They’d go to the poll and vote |
| Instead of voting once, he voted twice |
| He’s in the jail house now |
| He’s in the jail house now |
| We got him downtown in jail |
| No one to go his bail |
| He’s in the jail house now |
| I went downtown last Friday |
| I met a gal named Lidday |
| I thought she was the swellest gal in town |
| She start to call me honey |
| I thought to spending money |
| We went into a café and sat down |
| I thought that I was in it |
| Buying a drink a minute |
| Buying wine 'n' champagne by the jug |
| When I went to pay that man |
| I found that lady’s hand |
| In my pocket where my money was |
| (He got her) |
| He’s in the graveyard now |
| He’s in the graveyard now |
| When I went to pay that man |
| I found that old gal hand |
| He’s in the jail house now |
| He’s in the jail house now |
| He’s in the jail house now |
| When I went to pay that man |
| I found that lady’s hand |
| He’s in the jail house now |
