In The Graveyard Now

Pokey Lafarge

verse 1 I remember last election, Jim Jones got election. He said he's voting for the man who pays the biggest price. The next day after poll, he voted away his heart and soul. But instead of voting once, he voted twice. He's in the jailhouse now. He's in the jailhouse now. Instead of staying at home, and leaving the rich folks' business alone: He's in the jailhouse now. verse 2 Do you remember Henry Cruise? He sold that no good booze. He sold it down to the police at the beat. And now Henry's feeling funny, 'cause the police give him mob money: He's got a ball and chain around his feet. He's in the jailhouse now. He's in the jailhouse now. The judge gave him 10 years, now Henry's shedding tears, boo-hoo-hoo-hoo. He's in the jailhouse now. Solo (over verse + Chorus) verse 3 Son went walking down the street, a little chick he chanced to meet: So he went to every tavern in town. He drank lots of liquor, and the troubles soon got thicker, now he's jailhouse bound He's in the jailhouse now. He's in the jailhouse now. And if he's got a political friend, the judges sentence he will surely suspend He's in the jailhouse now. Solo (over verse and Chorus) verse 3 Jim Jones likes to roam around, with every little girl in town, until he met with Benny's wife. (slow down) Then Benny got him in the face, and now he's a big disgrace. And now he's graveyard bound Aaahooooooooo Aiiiiiiiiuuuuuo Well they used to be friends, but let's let that little matter end now He's in the graveyard now, six feet under the ground..... Two-three-four Solo (over verse and Chorus)
