Remember last election Everybody was in action Tryin' to find themselves a president There was a man named Lawson From New York down to Boston Representing the colored people we had sent My brother was a voter Also a great promoter Goin' round givin' advice They'd go to the poll and vote Instead of voting once, he voted twice He's in the jail house now He's in the jail house now We got him downtown in jail No one to go his bail He's in the jail house now I went downtown last Friday I met a gal named Lidday I thought she was the swellest gal in town She start to call me honey I thought to spending money We went into a café and sat down I thought that I was in it Buying a drink a minute Buying wine 'n' champagne by the jug When I went to pay that man I found that lady's hand In my pocket where my money was (He got her) He's in the graveyard now He's in the graveyard now When I went to pay that man I found that old gal hand He's in the jail house now He's in the jail house now He's in the jail house now When I went to pay that man I found that lady's hand He's in the jail house now
