[VERSE 1]
C
I had a friend named Campbell.
He used to rob, steal and gamble.
C7 F
He tried everything that was low-down.
He was out tom-cattin’ one night,
When he started a big fight.
D7 G
Then a big policeman came and knocked him down.
C
He’s in the jailhouse now.
C7 F
He’s in the jailhouse now.
G
I told him over again
To quit drinking whiskey,
G7
Lay off of that gin.
G C
He’s in the jailhouse now.

C
Campbell broke jail one day,
Decided he'd go away,
C7 F
But the police met him at the train.
The cop says, “I've come for you.”
Campbell says that this won't do
D7 G
Because Campbell never was my name.
C
He’s in the jailhouse now.
C7 F
He’s in the jailhouse now.
G
Yes, he broke out.
G7
All over town the fool walked about.
G C
He’s in the jailhouse now
[VERSE 3]
C
I met his old gal Sadie.
She said, “Have you seen my baby?”
C7 F
I told her he was downtown in the can.
She went down to the jail,
Just to go his bail.
D7 G
She said, “I've come down here to get my man.”
C
She’s in the jailhouse now.
C7 F
She’s in the jailhouse now.
G
So, you can understand
G7
Why old kid Sadie’s in the can.
G C
She’s in the jailhouse now.
