lyrics

23) In The Jailhouse Now
jimmie rodgers / peer international

I had an ol’ friend named Campbell
He used to rob, steal and gamble
He tried everything that was lowdown
Out tomcattin’ one night, he started him a fight
Pretty soon the police came ‘n knocked him down
He’s in the jailhouse now, he’s in the jailhouse now
I told him over again, lay off the whiskey, stop drinkin’ the gin
He’s in the jailhouse now

Campbell broke jail one day, decided he’d go away
A policeman come ‘n met him at the train
The copper said, “I’ve come for you”
Campbell said, “This won’t do
“Cuz Campbell never really was my name”
He’s in the jailhouse now, he’s in the jailhouse now
Yeah, he broke out, all over town the fool walked about
But he’s in the jailhouse now

Oh I met his ol’ gal, Sady
She asked me, “Have you seen my baby?”
I told her they had him downtown in the can
Sady went down to the jail, just to go his bail
She said, “I come down here to get my man”
She’s in the jailhouse now, in the jailhouse now
So you can understand why ol’ kid Sady’s in the can
She’s in the jailhouse now

The Gothic Cowboy/The Border Band Lawrence, Kansas

My influences are Leadbelly, Jimmie Rodgers, CCR and The Band, while the juices of a hundred others flavor my music, not to mention the devil himself if that's what it takes to make a song... ... more
