In The Jailhouse Now |
I once had a friend named Campbell |
He used rob, steal, drink and gamble |
He did every thing that was low down |
He was tomcattin' one night |
When he started a big fight |
A big policeman came and knocked him down |
He’s in the jailhouse now |
In the jailhouse now |
I told him once or twice |
To quit playin' cards and shootin' dice |
He’s in the jailhouse now |
I went out last Tuesday |
Met a little girl named Susie |
Told her I was the sharpest thing around |
Now, first, she started callin' me honey |
Then she started spendin' my money |
We made every honky tonk in town |
We’re in the jailhouse now |
In the jailhouse now |
Told him time and again |
Lay off that whiskey, stop drinkin' that gin |
He’s in the jailhouse now |
Do da da do… |
I went out last Tuesday (What?!) |
Met a little girl named Susie (Who?!) |
Told her I was the sharpest thing around |
First, she started callin' me honey (Honey) |
Then she started spendin' my money (Honey, honey) |
We made every honky tonk in town (In this town) |
We’re in the jailhouse now |
In the jailhouse now |
I told him time and again |
Lay off that whiskey, stop drinkin' that gin |
He’s in the jailhouse now |
In the jailhouse now |
I told him once or twice |
Quit playin' cards and shootin' dice |
He’s in the jailhouse now |
In the jailhouse now |
I told him several times |
You’re wastin' your money spending your time |
In the jailhouse now |
