[VERSE 1]
C
I had a friend named Campbell.
He used to rob, steal and gamble.
                    C7           F
He tried everything that was low-down.
He was out tom-cattin' one night, When he started a big fight.
       D7                                 G
Then a big policeman came and knocked him down.

                      C
He's in the jailhouse now.

            C7        F
He's in the jailhouse now.

  G
I told him over again
To quit drinking whiskey,
                G7
Lay off of that gin.

            G         C
He's in the jailhouse now.

C                              F

[VERSE 2]
C
Campbell broke jail one day,
Decided he'd go away,
               C7             F
But the police met him at the train.
The cop says, "I've come for you." Campbell says that this won't do
        D7                    G
Because Campbell never was my name.

                      C
He's in the jailhouse now.

            C7        F
He's in the jailhouse now.

     G
Yes, he broke out.

                               G7
All over town the fool walked about.

            G         C
He's in the jailhouse now
[VERSE 3]
C
I met his old gal Sadie.
She said, "Have you seen my baby?"
                      C7          F
I told her he was downtown in the can.
She went down to the jail, Just to go his bail.
           D7                            G
She said, "I've come down here to get my man."

                       C
She's in the jailhouse now.

             C7        F
She's in the jailhouse now.

    G
So, you can understand

                           G7
Why old kid Sadie's in the can.

             G         C
She's in the jailhouse now.
