Fish In The Jailhouse Lyrics - Orphans - Tom Waits

(Tom Waits and Kathleen Brennan) 

Peoria Johnson told Dirty Ol' Joe 

I can break out of any old jail, you know 

The bars are iron, the walls are stone 

All I need me is an old fishbone 

Fish in the jailhouse tonight, all right, oh boy 

They're serving fish in the jailhouse tonight, all right, oh boy 

They're serving fish in the jailhouse tonight, all right, oh boy 

They're serving fish in the jailhouse 

Fish in the jailhouse tonight 

[?] hammerhead shark 

Well, a steelhead salmon or a mud bank carp 

I said, one side dull, and then the other side sharp 

And on Saturday night I'll be in Central Park

Fish in the jailhouse tonight, all right, oh boy 

They're serving fish in the jailhouse tonight, all right, oh boy 

They're serving fish in the jailhouse tonight, all right, oh boy 

They're serving fish in the jailhouse 

Fish in the jailhouse tonight 

Ask Little Slow Jackson, on a forty-four trip 

Ask Whipperfield[?] Farraday, ask what I did 

From the jail to the city, there's a rollin' fog 

From Natchez(2) to Kenosha, runnin' down to New York 

They're serving fish in the jailhouse tonight 

All right (all right), oh boy (oh boy) 

They're serving fish in the jailhouse tonight 

All right (all right), oh boy (oh boy) 

They're serving fish in the jailhouse tonight 

All right (all right), oh boy (oh boy) 

They're serving fish in the jailhouse 

Fish in the jailhouse tonight

Fish in the jailhouse tonight
