In The Jailhouse Now

VERSE

I had a friend called Ramblin` Bob

He used to steal and gamble and rob

He thought he was the smartest man around

But I found out last Monday

They locked him up on Sunday

They`ve got him in the jailhouse way downtown

CHORUS #1

He`s in the jailhouse now

The jailhouse now

I warned him once or twice

Quit playin` cards and shootin` the dice

He`s in the jailhouse now

VERSE

Well, he played that game called poker

Pinochle, whist and euchre

But shooting dice, lord, it was his greatest game

So now he`s down in jail

Nobody to go his bail

The judge done said that he refused a fine

CHORUS #2

He`s in the jailhouse now

The jailhouse now

I warned him once or twice

You better quit playin` the cards and

shootin` the dice

He`s in the jailhouse now

(YODEL)

VERSE

Well, I went out last Tuesday

I met a gal named Susie

Told her I was the swellest man around

We started spendin` my money

She started callin` me honey

We took in every cabaret in town

CHORUS #3

We`re in the jailhouse now

In the jailhouse now

You know I told that judge right to his face

I couldn`t stand to see his place

We`re in the jailhouse now

(YODEL OUT)

Jimmie Rodgers

Peer Southern Music

OH, CAMILLE

VERSE

Burnin` candles, watchin` shadows

Long hours melt away in spider town

Sultry ev`nings, whisperin` windows

I sit and listen to the rain come down

CHORUS

Oh, Camille, read all about it in my letter

Oh, Camille ...

VERSE

Howlin` wolves out chasin` deer make

Dark, ugly pictures for my soul to see

Pale pianos leave me wond`rin`

`How go these nights of yours in Italy?`

(REPEAT CHORUS)

VERSE

Took a walk down flights of stairs, I

Went out to wander where the rain has been

Saw a madman preachin` tombstones

I`m feelin` better `bout the shape I`m in

(REPEAT CHORUS)

BRIDGE

Ain`t got no jokes to tell

Just lotsa books to read

Wild hearts an` traffic sounds

All poundin` ev`rywhere

It`s electricity

It`s flowin` into me

I am at home in here

These blues are right for me

(INSTRUMENTAL OUT)
