I had a friend named Camble, eat, cheat and steal and gamble And I guess he tried most ever' thing low down He was out tomcattin' one night when he started a great big fight Then a big policeman came and snapped him down He's in the jailhouse now, he's in the jailhouse now I told him once or twice to quit drinking gin and shootin' dice He's in the jailhouse now A-yodeleyie, yodeleyie, oh-ohoohdeleyie A-yodeleyie, odiyodeleyie, e-iyodeleyie Old Bill broke out one day, I guess he thought he'd get away But at the railroad station they took him by the arm The chief said, "I've come for you", and Bil said, "Now this won't do Because Bill Camble never was my name" He's in the jailhouse now, he's in the jailhouse now Oh yes, he broke out and all over town the fool walked about He's in the jailhouse now Then I met Bill's old gal Sadie and she said "Have you seen my baby?" And I told her he was down town in the can Litlle Sadie she started fussin' She went down to the jailhouse a-cussin' She says, "I come down here to get my man" She's in the jailhouse now, she's in the jailhouse now So you can understand why little old Sadie got throwed in the can She's in the jailhouse now I went out last Tuesday, met a sweet little gal named Suzie I'd say she was the sweetest thing around She started to callin' me honey and we began to spent my money Then we got drunk and thought we owned the town We're in the jailhouse now, we're in the jailhouse now Next day we wanted to go but that old jailer he said, "No" We're in the jailhouse now A-yodeleyie, yodeleyie, oh-ohohohdeleyie A-yodeleyie, odiyodeleyie, a-ohiyodeleyie
