He’s In The Jailhouse Now

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
