C#
I had a friend named Bill Campbell
he used to rob steal and gamble
                                      F#
And on the side he'd beg so he mopped up
I told him he shouldn't do it and
Campbell told me he knew it
       D#7
So he started beggin' with a bucket
              G#
instead of a cup

Chorus:
 G#                    C#
He's in the jailhouse now
(he's in the jailhouse now)
                       F#
He's in the jailhouse now
(he's in the jailhouse now)
      G#
Well Campbell fluffed his
dove when he wore a tuxedo to the country club
                       C#
He's in the jailhouse now
(he's in the jailhouse now)

I met his old gal Sadie she said
have you seen Billy lately
I said I don't believe that he's about
She went down to the jail she went
down to take him his mail
Then she whispered sheriff please
don't let him out

chorus

Well I remember the last election
the prohibitionists were in action
They's tryin' to elect themselves a president
Bill Canpbell and John Austin walked
from New Orleans to Boston
And they've got a bottle in every settlement

chorus
