《He’s in the Jailhouse Now》歌词

[00:00:00] He's In The Jailhouse Now - Memphis Jug Band

[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 who paid the biggest price

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

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

[00:00:22] But instead of voting once he voted twice

[00:00:27] 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' business alone

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

[00:00:44] You remember Henry Crew

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

[00:00:49] Sold it to the police on the beat

[00:00:53] Now Henry's feeling funny

[00:00:55] The police gave him marked money

[00:00:58] Now he's got a ball and chain around his feet

[00:01:03] He's in the jailhouse now

[00:01:07] He's in the jailhouse now

[00:01:11] The judge gave him two years

[00:01:13] And Henry shed a tear

[00:01:16] He's in the jailhouse now

[00:01:54] Old Tom was walking down the street

[00:01:57] A little girl he chanced to meet

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

[00:02:04] He spent his money on liquor

[00:02:05] His trouble's getting thicker

[00:02:08] And now he's jailhouse bound

[00:02:12] He's in the jailhouse now

[00:02:17] He's in the jailhouse now

[00:02:21] If he's got a political friend

[00:02:23] The judge's sentence he will suspend

[00:02:25] He's in the jailhouse now

[00:02:29] Jim Johnson liked to run around

[00:02:32] Flirt with every girl in town

[00:02:34] Until one day he flirted with Benny's wife

[00:02:38] Benny cut him in the face

[00:02:41] It was a bad disgrace

[00:02:44] And now he's graveyard bound

[00:02:47] He's in the jailhouse now

[00:02:52] He's in the jailhouse now

[00:02:56] It was his friend

[00:02:58] That let this matter end

[00:03:01] He's in the jailhouse now
