He's in the Jailhouse Now (如今他身在监狱) - Memphis Jug Band[00:00:01]

Written by：Burt Murphy[00:00:03]

Remember last election yeah[00:00:10]

Jim Jones got in action uh huh[00:00:12]

Said he's voting for the man that paid the biggest price[00:00:15]

Next day at the poll[00:00:19]

He voted with heart and soul[00:00:21]

But instead of voting once he voted twice uh huh[00:00:23]

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

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

Stead of him staying at home[00:00:37]

Letting those white folks' business alone where he's at now[00:00:39]

He's in the jailhouse now[00:00:42]

You remember Henry cruise oh yes[00:00:45]

That sold that no good booze[00:00:48]

He sold it to the police on the beat[00:00:50]

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

Police give him marked money[00:00:57]

He's got a ball and chain 'round his feet[00:00:59]

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's shedding tears[00:01:15]

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

Play that thing[00:01:22]

Son was walking down the street yeah[00:01:57]

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

Went to every cabaret in town[00:02:02]

He bought lots of liquor[00:02:06]

Troubles got so thicker[00:02:08]

Now son is 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]

Judge's sentence he will suspend uh huh[00:02:25]

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

Jim Johnson liked to roam around yes[00:02:32]

Flirt with every gal in town uh huh[00:02:35]

Until he flirted with Benny's wife Benny Ramey[00:02:37]

And Benny cut him in the face I swear[00:02:41]

Now it's a disgrace that's awful isn't it[00:02:44]

But now he's graveyard bound how did Benny do that thing[00:02:47]

He's in the jailhouse now[00:02:51]

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

Benny was his friend[00:02:59]

Place of letting that matter end uh huh[00:03:01]

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