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 |
