Ton : DbEnglish
Couplet
I had Dba friend named Bill Camel he used to rob steel and gamble
And on the side he would beg so he more Gbtough
I told him he shouldn't do it and camel told me he knew it
So he Ab7started thinking with a bucket instead of a Dbcup
Refrain
N.C.He's in the Dbjailhouse Gbnow; He's in the jailhouse now
Well AbCamel fluffed his duff when he wore a tuxedo to the country club
He's in the jailhouse Dbnow

I met his old gal Sadie; she said have you seen Bill lately
I said that I don't believe that he's Gbabout
She went down to the jail; she went down to take him his mail
Then Ab7she whispered Sheriff please don't let him Dbout
Refrain
N.C. Db Gb
He's in the jailhouse now; He's in the jailhouse now
While AbCamels' put away Sadie with the sheriff everyday
He's in the jailhouse Dbnow
Couplet
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
Refrain
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
