0:06I had a friend named Bill Campbell he used to rob steal and gamble
0:11And on the side he'd beg so he mopped up
0:13I told him he shouldn't do it and Campbell told me he knew it
0:21So he started beggin' with a bucket instead of a cup
0:26He's in the jailhouse now he's in the jailhouse now
0:28He's in the jailhouse now he's in the jailhouse now
0:31Well Campbell fluffed his dove when he wore a tuxedo to the country club
0:37He's in the jailhouse now he's in the jailhouse now
0:41guitar
0:42I met his old gal Sadie she said have you seen Billy lately
1:08I said I don't believe that he's about
1:12She went down to the jail she went down to take him his mail
1:17Then she whispered sheriff please don't let him out
1:18He's in the jailhouse now he's in the jailhouse now
1:19He's in the jailhouse now he's in the jailhouse now
1:19While Campbell's put away Sadie's with the sheriff everyday
1:26He's in the jailhouse now he's in the jailhouse now
1:32guitar
1:33Well I remember the last election the prohibitionists were in action
1:48They's tryin' to elect themselves a president
1:53Bill Canpbell and John Austin walked from New Orleans to Boston
1:58And they've got a bottle in every settlement
2:03They're in the jailhouse now he's in the jailhouse now
2:06They're in the jailhouse now he's in the jailhouse now
2:09They were down at the railroad track stealin' a train to haul it back
2:13They're in the jailhouse now he's in the jailhouse now
