《In The Jailhouse Now》歌词

[00:00:00] In The Jailhouse Now - Pink Anderson

[00:00:14] I had an old friend name Campbell

[00:00:17] Campbell used to steal and gamble

[00:00:20] He made his living cheating all the while (yessir)

[00:00:26] Had a little game he called euchre

[00:00:29] Blackjack dice and poker

[00:00:32] Thought he was the smartest dude in town

[00:00:39] But I just found out Monday

[00:00:42] Campbell got locked up Sunday

[00:00:46] They got him in the jailhouse down in town

[00:00:51] They got Campbell in the jail

[00:00:55] No one to go his bail

[00:00:59] That judge he won't accept no fine (they got'm)

[00:01:05] He's in the jailhouse now

[00:01:11] He's in the jailhouse now

[00:01:17] I told Campbell once or twice

[00:01:19] Stop playing cards and shooting dice

[00:01:24] He's up on Broad Street now

[00:01:29] He's hardheaded pay nobody no mind but they got'm

[00:01:42] I remember last election

[00:01:45] When the white folks was in action

[00:01:49] Trying to get thyself a president

[00:01:55] A colored man by the name of Bill Austin

[00:01:58] Walked from New York to Boston

[00:02:02] Just to find a colored sentiment

[00:02:08] Now my brother Bill's a voter

[00:02:12] Bill's a great promoter

[00:02:15] Always looking for some good advice

[00:02:21] So they told Bill to go to the polls

[00:02:24] And vote for his vote made it so

[00:02:28] Instead of voting once the fool voted twice (that settled it)

[00:02:35] He's on the rock pile now

[00:02:42] He's on the rock pile now

[00:02:47] I told Bill to stay at home

[00:02:50] And let other people's business alone

[00:02:55] He's down in Woodruff now

[00:02:59] Hardheaded you know wouldn't pay nobody no mind

[00:03:02] But they got to put him somewhere He ain't like me

[00:03:14] I walked up to town this Friday

[00:03:17] I met a girl named Ida

[00:03:20] I thought she was the prettiest girl in town (mmmmm)

[00:03:26] She began to call me honey

[00:03:30] And I began to spend all my money

[00:03:34] We walked into a swell café and set down

[00:03:40] Folks I made sure I were in it

[00:03:44] I was spending every minute

[00:03:47] Buying white whiskey home brew and wine everything by the quart

[00:03:53] But when I went to pay that man

[00:03:57] I found that lady's hand

[00:04:01] In my pocket where my money was (that settled it)

[00:04:08] She's in the graveyard now

[00:04:14] She's in the graveyard now

[00:04:20] I told the judge to his face

[00:04:23] That woman's hand was out of place

[00:04:27] She's in the ape yard now
