Doc Watson - In the Jailhouse Now lyrics

Your rating:

I had a friend named Camble, eat, cheat and steal and gamble

And I guess he tried most ever' thing low down



He was out tomcattin' one night when he started a great big fight

Then a big policeman came and snapped him down



He's in the jailhouse now, he's in the jailhouse now

I told him once or twice to quit drinking gin and shootin' dice

He's in the jailhouse now



'a-yodeleyie yodeleyie oh-ohoohdeleyie 

'a-yodeleyie odiyodeleyie e-iyodeleyie



(break)



Old Bill broke out one day, I guess he thought he'd get away

But at the railroad station they took him by the arm

The chief said "I've come for you" and Bil said "Now, this won't do

Because Bill Camble never was my name"



He's in the jailhouse now, he's in the jailhouse now

Oh yes, he broke out and all over town the fool walked about

He's in the jailhouse now



Then I met Bill's old gal Sadie and she said "Have you seen my baby?"

And I told her he was down town in the can

Litlle Sadie she started fussin', she went down to the jailhouse a-cussin'

She sais "I come down here to get my man."



She's in the jailhouse now, she's in the jailhouse now

So you can understand why little old Sadie got throwed in the can

She's in the jailhouse now



I went out last tuesdea, met a sweet lillte gal named Suzie

I'd say she was the sweetest thing around

She started to callin' me honey and we began to spent my money

Then we got drunk and thought we owned the town



We're in the jailhouse now, we're int the jailhouse now

Next day we wanted to go but that old jailor he said "No!"

We're in the jailhouse now



'a-yodeleyie yodeleyie oh-ohohohdeleyie 

'a-yodeleyie odiyodeleyie a-ohiyodeleyie
