Steve Earle - In The Jailhouse Now Lyrics
I had a friend named campbellHe used to rob, steal, and gambleHe tried everything that was low downHe was out tomcattin one nightWhen he started a big fightAnd a big policeman came and knocked him downHes in the jailhouse now (hes in the jailhouse now)Hes in the jailhouse now (hes in the jailhouse now)I told him over againQuit drinkin whiskey, they all found ginHes in the jailhouse nowNow cambell broke jail one dayDecided hed go awayPolice met him at the trainThe cop says Ive come for youCambell says this wont docause you know cambells never been my nameHes in the jailhouse now (hes in the jailhouse now)Hes in the jailhouse now (hes in the jailhouse now)Yeah, he broke outAll over town, the fool walked aboutHes in the jailhouse nowNow, cambell had a gal named sadieSadie said wheres my babyI told her he was downtown in the canShe went down to the jailIt was just to go his bailAnd she said I come down here to get my manShes in the jailhouse now (shes in the jailhouse now)Shes in the jailhouse now (shes in the jailhouse now)Now you understandWhy ol sadies in the canShes in the jailhouse nowShes in the jailhouse now
