Lyrics
Well, there once was a man named Campbell He used to rob, steal and gamble He tried anything that was low-down He was out tomcattin' one night When he got in a heck of fight And a big policeman came and knocked him out He's in the jailhouse now (He's in the jailhouse now) He's in the jailhouse now (He's in the jailhouse now) Well, I told him once or twice To quit playin' cards and shootin' dice He's in the jailhouse now (He's in the jailhouse now) In the jailhouse now (He's in the jailhouse now) Well, Campbell broke jail one day Decided he'd run away But the big policeman met him at the train He said, "Campbell, I came for you" And said Campbell, "That just won't do 'Cause Campbell never was my name" He's in the jailhouse now (He's in the jailhouse now) He's in the jailhouse now (He's in the jailhouse now) Well, I told him once or twice To quit playin' cards and shootin' dice He's in the jailhouse now (He's in the jailhouse now) In the jailhouse now (He's in the jailhouse now), ah yeah Well, I seen his old gal, Sadie She said, "Have you seen my baby?" I told, "Him was downtown in the can" Well, she went on down to the jail Just to go his bail She said, "I came down here to get my man" She's in the jailhouse now (She's in the jailhouse now) She's in the jailhouse now (She's in the jailhouse now) So, I guess you can understand When you got old Sadie, she's in the can She's in the jailhouse now (She's in the jailhouse now) They're in the jailhouse now (She's in the jailhouse now) Oh, jailhouse now (She's in the jailhouse now) Oh, jailhouse now (She's in the jailhouse now) Ah, jailhouse now (She's in the jailhouse now) Ah, jailhouse now
