In the Jailhouse Now — текст песни (Suzy Bogguss)

Well I knew a man named Campbell he`d cheat and steal and gamble
And I guess he tried most everything lowdown
He was out tomcattin` last night when he got in a great big fight
And then a big policeman came and slapped him down
He`s in the jailhouse now (he`s in the jailhouse now)
He`s in the jailhouse now (he`s in the jailhouse now)
Well I told him once or twice to quit drinkin` gin and shootin` dice
He`s in the jailhouse now

Well when I met Bill`s old gal Saddie and she said (have you seen my baby)
And I told her he was downtown in the can
Well old Saddie she started fussin` she went down to the jailhouse a cussin`
She said I come down here to get my man
She`s in the jailhouse now (she`s in the jailhouse now)
She`s in the jailhouse now (she`s in the jailhouse now)
So you can understand how little old Saddie got throwed in the can
She`s in the jailhouse now
[ guitar - fiddle ]
Well old Bill broke out one day I guess he thought he get away
But at the railway station they took him by the arm
The chief said I`ve come for you and Bill said (now this won`t do)
Because Bill Campbell never was my name
He`s in the jailhouse now (he`s in the jailhouse now)
He`s in the jailhouse now (he`s in the jailhouse now)
Well old Bill he broke out and all over town the fool walked about
He`s in the jailhouse now
He`s in the jailhouse now (he`s in the jailhouse now)
Well I told him once or twice to quit drinkin` gin and shootin` dice
He`s in the jailhouse now
