In The Jailhouse Now

Johnny Cash

C#

I had a friend named bill camel he used to rob steel and gamble

F#

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

G#7 C#

So he started thinking with a bucket instead of a cup

N.C. C# F#

He’s in the jailhouse now; He’s in the jailhouse now

G#

Well camel fluffed his duff when he wore a tuxedo to the country club

C#

He’s in the jailhouse now

I met his old gal Sadie; she said have you seen Bill lately

F#

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

G#7 C#

Then she whispered Sheriff please don’t let him out

N.C. C# F#

He’s in the jailhouse now; He’s in the jailhouse now

G#

While Camels’ put away, Sadie with the sheriff everyday

C#

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
