In The Jailhouse Now
I once had a friend named Campbell He used to rob, steal, drink and gamble He did everything that was low down He was out tomcattin' one night when he started a big fight A big policeman came and knocked him down
He's in the jailhouse now, in the jailhouse now I told him once or twice To quit playin' cards and shootin' dice He's in the jailhouse now
I went out last Tuesday Met a little girl named Susie Told her I was the sharpest thing around At first she started callin' me honey Then she started spendin' my money We made every honky tonk in town
We're in the jailhouse now, in the jailhouse now I told him time and again Lay off that whiskey, stop drinkin' that gin He's in the jailhouse now
I went out last Tuesday Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com (What?) Met a little girl named Susie (Who?) Told her I was the sharpest thing around First she started callin' me honey (Honey) Then she started spendin' my money (Money, honey) We made every honky tonk in town (In this town)
We're in the jailhouse now, in the jailhouse now I told him time and again Lay off that whiskey, stop drinkin' that gin
He's in the jailhouse now, in the jailhouse now I told him once or twice Quit playin' cards and shootin' dice
He's in the jailhouse now, in the jailhouse now I told him several times You're wasting you money spending your time
