Lyrics:
[Verse 1] I had a friend named Bill Campbell He used to rob, steal and gamble And on the side he'd beg So he mopped up Well, I told old Bill he shouldn't do it And old Bill said that he knew it So he started begging with a bucket Instead of a cup [Chorus] He's in the jailhouse now He's in the jailhouse now Now old Bill flubbed his dub When he wore a tuxedo to the country club He's in the jailhouse now [Verse 2] Now Bill had a gal named Sadie And she said have you seen Billy lately No I don't believe that he's about But old Sadie went down to the jail It was just to pay his bail And she whispered Sheriff please don't let him out [Chorus] He's in the jailhouse now He's in the jailhouse now Lord and while ol' Bill's away Sadie's with the sheriff every day He's in the jailhouse now [Verse 3] Oh, you remember the last election, yeah The prohibitionists was in action Trying to elect themselves a president And Bill Campbell and John Austin They rode from New Orleans to Boston And they bought them a bottle in every settlement [Chorus] They're in the jailhouse now They're in the jailhouse now Well they caught 'em down by the railroad track Stealin' a train just to haul it back They're in the jailhouse now
