In The Jailhouse Now

I had a friend named bill camel he used to rob steel and gamble And on the side he would beg so he more tough I told him he shouldn't do it, and camel told me he knew it So he started thinking with a bucket instead of a cup N.C. He's in the jailhouse now; He's in the jailhouse now Well camel fluffed his duff when he wore a tuxedo to the country club He's in the jailhouse now I met his old gal Sadie; she said have you seen Bill lately I said that I don't believe that he's about She went down to the jail; she went down to take him his mail Then she whispered Sheriff please don't let him out N.C. He's in the jailhouse now; He's in the jailhouse now While Camels' put away, Sadie with the sheriff everyday He's in the jailhouse now 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
