IN THE JAILHOUSE NOW

JOHNNY CASH

Key:

I had a friend named bill camel he used to rob steel and gamble

And on the side he would beg so he more t ough

I told him he shouldn't do it and camel told me he knew it

So he s tarted thinking with a bucket instead of a c up

H N.C. e's in the jailhouse now ; He's in the jailhouse now

Well c amel fluffed his duff when he wore a tuxedo to the country club

He's in the jailhouse n ow

I met his old gal Sadie; she said have you seen Bill lately

I said that I don't believe that he's a bout

She went down to the jail; she went down to take him his mail

Then s he whispered Sheriff please don't let him o ut

N.C.

He's in the jailhouse now; He's in the jailhouse now

While C amels' put away Sadie with the sheriff everyday

He's in the jailhouse n ow

Well I remember the last election the prohibitionists were in action

They was trying to elect themselves a president

Bill Camel and John Austin walked from New Orleans to Boston

And they got them a bottle in every settlement

He's in the jailhouse now; He's in the jailhouse now

They were down at the railroad track stealin' a train to hall it back

He's in the jailhouse now
