Sir Douglas Quintet - In The Jailhouse Now lyrics

Well there once was a man named Campbell He used to rob, steal and gamble He'd try anything, there was no doubt He was out tom-catting one night When he got in one heck of a fight And a big policeman came and knocked him down He's in the jailhouse now In the jailhouse now Well I told him once or twice To quit playing cards and shooting dice He's in the jailhouse now In the jailhouse now Well Campbell broke jail one day Decided he'd run away But the big policeman met him at the train He said Campbell I came for you Campbell said "that won't do Because Campbell never was my real name" He's in the jailhouse now In the jailhouse now Well I told him once or twice To quit playing cards and shooting dice He's in the jailhouse now In the jailhouse now Well I seen his old girl Sadie She said "have you seen my baby?" I told her he was downtown in the can She went down to the jail Just took all his mail She said "I came down here to get my man" She's in the jailhouse now In the jailhouse now So I guess you understand They got old Sadie, she's in the can She's in the jailhouse now In the jailhouse now
