He's In The Jailhouse Now - The Memphis Jug Band[00:00:00]

I remember last election[00:00:10]

Sam Jones got in action[00:00:12]

Said he'd vote for the man[00:00:14]

Who paid the biggest price[00:00:16]

The next day at the polls[00:00:19]

He voted with heart and soul[00:00:20]

But instead of voting once[00:00:23]

He voted twice[00:00:24]

He's in the jailhouse now[00:00:28]

He's in the jailhouse now[00:00:32]

Instead of staying at home[00:00:37]

Leaving the white folks'[00:00:38]

Business alone[00:00:39]

He's in the jailhouse now[00:00:41]

You remember Henry Crew[00:00:45]

He sold that no good brew[00:00:48]

Sold it to the police on the beat[00:00:50]

Now Henry's feeling funny[00:00:54]

The police gave him marked money[00:00:57]

Now he's got a ball and chain[00:00:59]

Around his feet[00:01:01]

He's in the jailhouse now[00:01:04]

He's in the jailhouse now[00:01:08]

The judge gave him two years[00:01:12]

And Henry shed a tear[00:01:14]

He's in the jailhouse now[00:01:17]

Old Tom was walking down the street[00:01:56]

A little girl he chanced to meet[00:01:59]

Took her to every cabaret in town[00:02:02]

He spent his money on liquor[00:02:06]

His trouble's getting thicker[00:02:08]

And now he's jailhouse bound[00:02:10]

He's in the jailhouse now[00:02:15]

He's in the jailhouse now[00:02:19]

If he's got a political friend[00:02:23]

The judge's sentence[00:02:25]

He will suspend[00:02:26]

He's in the jailhouse now[00:02:28]

Jim Johnson liked to run around[00:02:32]

Flirt with every girl in town[00:02:35]

Until place day he flirted[00:02:37]

With Benny's wife[00:02:38]

(She was ugly)[00:02:39]

Benny cut him in the face[00:02:42]

It was a bad disgrace[00:02:44]

And now he's graveyard bound[00:02:46]

He's in the jailhouse now[00:02:50]

He's in the jailhouse now[00:02:55]

It was his friend[00:02:59]

That let this matter end[00:03:01]

He's in the jailhouse now[00:03:04]
