Jimmie Rodgers — In The Jailhouse Now No. 2

I had a friend named Campbell He used to rob, steal and gamble He tried everything that was low-down He was out tom-cattin' one night When he started a big fight Then a big policeman came and knocked him down He's in the jailhouse now He's in the jailhouse now I told him over again To quit drinking whiskey, lay off of that gin He's in the jailhouse now [Yodeling] Campbell broke jail one day Decided he'd go away But the police met him at the train The cop says, "I've come for you" Campbell says that "This won't do Because Campbell never was my name" He's in the jailhouse now He's in the jailhouse now Yes, he broke out All over town the fool walked about He's in the jailhouse now [Yodeling] I met his old gal Sadie She said, "Have you seen my baby?" I told her he was downtown in the can She went down to the jail Just to go his bail She said, "I've come down here to get my man" She's in the jailhouse now She's in the jailhouse now So you can understand Why old kid Sadie's in the can She's in the jailhouse now [Yodeling]
