| 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 |
