[00:00:09] I remember last election

[00:00:12] Sam Jones got in action

[00:00:14] Said he'd vote for the man

[00:00:16] Who paid the biggest price

[00:00:18] The next day at the polls

[00:00:20] He voted with heart and soul

[00:00:23] But instead of voting once

[00:00:25] He voted twice

[00:00:28] He's in the jailhouse now

[00:00:32] He's in the jailhouse now

[00:00:36] Instead of staying at home

[00:00:38] Leaving the white folks'

[00:00:39] Business alone

[00:00:41] He's in the jailhouse now

[00:00:45] You remember Henry Crew

[00:00:47] He sold that no good brew

[00:00:50] He sold it to the police on the beat

[00:00:54] Now Henry's feeling funny

[00:00:56] The police gave him marked money

[00:00:59] Now he's got a ball and chain

[00:01:01] Around his feet

[00:01:04] He's in the jailhouse now

[00:01:08] He's in the jailhouse now

[00:01:12] The judge gave him two years

[00:01:14] And Henry shed a tear

[00:01:17] He's in the jailhouse now

[00:01:56] Tom was walking down the street

[00:01:59] A little girl he chanced to meet

[00:02:02] Took her to every cabaret in town

[00:02:06] He spent his money on liquor

[00:02:08] His trouble's getting thicker

[00:02:10] And now he's jailhouse bound

[00:02:15] He's in the jailhouse now

[00:02:19] He's in the jailhouse now

[00:02:23] If he's got a political friend

[00:02:25] The judge's sentence

[00:02:26] He will suspend

[00:02:28] He's in the jailhouse now

[00:02:32] Jim Johnson liked to run around

[00:02:35] Flirt with every girl in town

[00:02:37] Until one day he flirted

[00:02:38] With Benny's wife

[00:02:39] She was ugly

[00:02:41] And benny cut him in the face

[00:02:44] It was a bad disgrace

[00:02:47] But now he's graveyard bound

[00:02:50] He's in the jailhouse now

[00:02:55] He's in the jailhouse now

[00:02:59] And it was his friend

[00:03:01] That let this matter end

[00:03:04] He's in the jailhouse now
