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 |
