In The Jailhouse Now Lyrics

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
