He's In The Jailhouse Now - Memphis Jug Band[00:00:00]
I remember last election[00:00:09]
Sam Jones got in action[00:00:12]
Said he'd vote for the man who paid the biggest price[00:00:14]
The next day at the polls[00:00:18]
He voted with heart and soul[00:00:20]
But instead of voting once he voted twice[00:00:22]
He's in the jailhouse now[00:00:27]
He's in the jailhouse now[00:00:32]
Instead of staying at home[00:00:36]
Leaving the white folks' business alone[00:00:38]
He's in the jailhouse now[00:00:41]
You remember Henry Crew[00:00:44]
He sold that no good brew[00:00:47]
Sold it to the police on the beat[00:00:49]
Now Henry's feeling funny[00:00:53]
The police gave him marked money[00:00:55]
Now he's got a ball and chain around his feet[00:00:58]
He's in the jailhouse now[00:01:03]
He's in the jailhouse now[00:01:07]
The judge gave him two years[00:01:11]
And Henry shed a tear[00:01:13]
He's in the jailhouse now[00:01:16]
Old Tom was walking down the street[00:01:54]
A little girl he chanced to meet[00:01:57]
Took her to every cabaret in town[00:02:00]
He spent his money on liquor[00:02:04]
His trouble's getting thicker[00:02:05]
And now he's jailhouse bound[00:02:08]
He's in the jailhouse now[00:02:12]
He's in the jailhouse now[00:02:17]
If he's got a political friend[00:02:21]
The judge's sentence he will suspend[00:02:23]
He's in the jailhouse now[00:02:25]
Jim Johnson liked to run around[00:02:29]
Flirt with every girl in town[00:02:32]
Until one day he flirted with Benny's wife[00:02:34]
Benny cut him in the face[00:02:38]
It was a bad disgrace[00:02:41]
And now he's graveyard bound[00:02:44]
He's in the jailhouse now[00:02:47]
He's in the jailhouse now[00:02:52]
It was his friend[00:02:56]
That let this matter end[00:02:58]
He's in the jailhouse now[00:03:01]
