  IN THE JAILHOUSE NOW - No. 2

  Words and music by Jimmie Rodgers

  

  [D] I had a friend named Campbell

  He used to rob, steal and gamble

  He tried ev'rything that was low-[G] down

  He was out tom-cattin' one night

  When he started a big fight 

  Then a [A] big policeman [E] came and knocked him [A] down.

  

  He's in the [D] jailhouse now

  He's in the [G] jailhouse now

  I [A] told him over again

  To quit drinking whiskey

  Lay off of that [A7] gin

  He's in the [A] jailhouse [D] now. (Yodel)

  

  Campbell broke jail one day

  Decided he'd go away

  But the police met him at the train

  The cop says I've come for you

  Campbell says that this won't do

  Because Campbell never my name.

  

  He's in the jailhouse now

  He's in the jailhouse now

  Yes, he broke out

  All over town the fool walked about

  He's in the jailhouse now. (Yodel)

  

  I met his old gal Sadie

  'She said, "Have you seen my baby"

  I told her he was downtown in the can

  She went down to the jail

  Just to go his bail

  She said, "I've come down here to get my man."

  

  She's in the jailhouse now

  She's in the jailhouse now

  So you can understand

  Why old kid Sadie's in the can

  She's in the jailhouse now. (Yodel)
