Well, I knew a man named Campbell He'd cheat and steal and gamble And I guess, he tried most everything lowdown He was out tomcattin' last night When he got in a great big fight And then a big policeman came And slapped him down 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 Drinkin' gin and shootin' dice He's in the jailhouse now Well, when I met Bill's old gal Saddie And she said, "Have you seen my baby?" And I told her, he was downtown in the can Well, old Saddie she started fussin' She went down to the jailhouse a cussin' She said, "I come 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 you can understand how little old Saddie Got throwed in the can She's in the jailhouse now Well, old Bill broke out one day I guess, he thought he get away But at the railway station they took him by the arm The chief said, "I've come for you" And Bill said, "Now, this won't do" Because Bill 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, old Bill he broke out And all over town the fool walked about 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 Drinkin' gin and shootin' dice He's in the jailhouse now
