In The Jailhouse Now Lyrics - Steve Earle

I had a friend named campbell 

He used to rob, steal, and gamble 

He tried everything that was low down 

He was out tomcattin' one night 

When he started a big fight 

And a big policeman came and knocked him down 

He's in the jailhouse now (he's in the jailhouse now) 

He's in the jailhouse now (he's in the jailhouse now) 

I told him over again 

Quit drinkin' whiskey, they all found gin 

He's in the jailhouse now

Now cambell broke jail one day 

Decided he'd go away 

Police met him at the train 

The cop says I've come for you 

Cambell says this won't do 

'cause you know cambell's never been my name 

He's in the jailhouse now (he's in the jailhouse now) 

He's in the jailhouse now (he's in the jailhouse now) 

Yeah, he broke out 

All over town, the fool walked about 

He's in the jailhouse now 

Now, cambell had a gal named sadie 

Sadie said where's my baby 

I told her he was downtown in the can 

She went down to the jail 

It was just to go his bail 

And she said I come down here to get my man 

Photos 

She's in the jailhouse now (she's in the jailhouse now) 

She's in the jailhouse now (she's in the jailhouse now) 

Now you understand 

Why ol' sadie's in the can 

She's in the jailhouse now 

She's in the jailhouse now
