In The Jailhouse Now - Pink Anderson[00:00:00]

I had an old friend name Campbell[00:00:14]

Campbell used to steal and gamble[00:00:17]

He made his living cheating all the while (yessir)[00:00:20]

Had a little game he called euchre[00:00:26]

Blackjack dice and poker[00:00:29]

Thought he was the smartest dude in town[00:00:32]

But I just found out Monday[00:00:39]

Campbell got locked up Sunday[00:00:42]

They got him in the jailhouse down in town[00:00:46]

They got Campbell in the jail[00:00:51]

No one to go his bail[00:00:55]

That judge he won't accept no fine (they got'm)[00:00:59]

He's in the jailhouse now[00:01:05]

He's in the jailhouse now[00:01:11]

I told Campbell once or twice[00:01:17]

Stop playing cards and shooting dice[00:01:19]

He's up on Broad Street now[00:01:24]

He's hardheaded pay nobody no mind but they got'm[00:01:29]

I remember last election[00:01:42]

When the white folks was in action[00:01:45]

Trying to get thyself a president[00:01:49]

A colored man by the name of Bill Austin[00:01:55]

Walked from New York to Boston[00:01:58]

Just to find a colored sentiment[00:02:02]

Now my brother Bill's a voter[00:02:08]

Bill's a great promoter[00:02:12]

Always looking for some good advice[00:02:15]

So they told Bill to go to the polls[00:02:21]

And vote for his vote made it so[00:02:24]

Instead of voting once the fool voted twice (that settled it)[00:02:28]

He's on the rock pile now[00:02:35]

He's on the rock pile now[00:02:42]

I told Bill to stay at home[00:02:47]

And let other people's business alone[00:02:50]

He's down in Woodruff now[00:02:55]

Hardheaded you know wouldn't pay nobody no mind[00:02:59]

But they got to put him somewhere He ain't like me[00:03:02]

I walked up to town this Friday[00:03:14]

I met a girl named Ida[00:03:17]

I thought she was the prettiest girl in town (mmmmm)[00:03:20]

She began to call me honey[00:03:26]

And I began to spend all my money[00:03:30]

We walked into a swell café and set down[00:03:34]

Folks I made sure I were in it[00:03:40]

I was spending every minute[00:03:44]

Buying white whiskey home brew and wine everything by the quart[00:03:47]

But when I went to pay that man[00:03:53]

I found that lady's hand[00:03:57]

In my pocket where my money was (that settled it)[00:04:01]

She's in the graveyard now[00:04:08]

She's in the graveyard now[00:04:14]

I told the judge to his face[00:04:20]

That woman's hand was out of place[00:04:23]

She's in the ape yard now[00:04:27]
