He's in the Jailhouse Now - Jim Jackson/Jackson
Written by：Fury
I had a friend named Campbell he used to steal and gamble
He made his living cheating all the while
He played a game called euchre pinochle and poker
He thought he was the smartest dude in town
But I just found up Monday he got locked up Sunday
They've got him in that jailhouse down in town
They got Campbell in the jail no one to go his bail
The judge won't even accept him a fine
He's in the jailhouse now
He's in the jailhouse now
I told Campbell once or twice
Stop playing cards and shooting dice
Yeah they got I'm
He's in the jailhouse now
I remember 'way last Friday I met a girl named Lani
I thought she was the parties girl in town
She called me Sonny and I begin to spend my money
We went into a swell cafe and sit down
I thought that I was in it I was spendin' every minute
Buyin' wine and whiskey by the quart
But when I went to pay that man I found that lady's hand
In my pocket where my money was
She's in the graveyard now
She's in the graveyard now
I told the judge right to his face
That lady's hand was out of its place
Yeah they got her
She's in the graveyard now
