Well I knew a man named Campbell he'd cheat and steal and gamble
|
And I guess he tried most everything lowdown
|
He was out tomcattin' last night when he got in a great big fight
|
And then a big policeman came and slapped him down
|
He's in the jailhouse now (he's in the jailhouse now)
|
He's in the jailhouse now (he's in the jailhouse now)
|
Well I told him once or twice to quit drinkin' gin and shootin' dice
|
He's in the jailhouse now
|
|
Well when I met Bill's old gal Saddie and she said (have you seen my baby)
|
And I told her he was downtown in the can
|
Well old Saddie she started fussin' she went down to the jailhouse a cussin'
|
She said I come down here to get my man
|
She's in the jailhouse now (she's in the jailhouse now)
|
She's in the jailhouse now (she's in the jailhouse now)
|
So you can understand how little old Saddie got throwed in the can
|
She's in the jailhouse now
|

|
Well old Bill broke out one day I guess he thought he get away
|
But at the railway station they took him by the arm
|
The chief said I've come for you and Bill said (now this won't do)
|
Because Bill Campbell never was my name
|
He's in the jailhouse now (he's in the jailhouse now)
|
He's in the jailhouse now (he's in the jailhouse now)
|
Well old Bill he broke out and all over town the fool walked about
|
He's in the jailhouse now
|
He's in the jailhouse now (he's in the jailhouse now)
|
Well I told him once or twice to quit drinkin' gin and shootin' dice
|
He's in the jailhouse now
