[F] Well I knew a man named Campbell; he'd cheat and steal and gamble
And I guess he tried most everything low [Bb] down
He was out tomcattin' one night when he got in a great big fight
And then a [G7] big policeman came and slapped him [C] down [C7]

He's in the jailhouse [F] now; he's in the jailhouse [Bb] now
Well, I [C] told him once or twice to quit drinkin' gin and [C7] shootin' dice, 
he's in the [C] jailhouse [F] now

[F] Well, when I met Bill's old gal Sadie and she said, "Have you seen my baby?"
And I told her, he was downtown in the [Bb] can
Well, old Sadie she started fussin', she went down to the jailhouse a cussin'
She [G7] said, "I come down here to get my [C] man"  [C7]

She's in the jailhouse [F] now; she's in the jailhouse [Bb] now
So [C] you can understand how little old Sadie got [C7] throwed in the can, 
she's in the [C] jailhouse [F] now

[F] Well I knew a man named Campbell; he'd cheat and steal and gamble
And I guess he tried most everything low [Bb] down
He was out tomcattin' one [Bb] night when he got in a great big fight
And then a [G7] big policeman came and slapped him [C] down [C7]
He's in the jailhouse [F] now; he's in the jailhouse [Bb] now
Well, I [C] told him once or twice to quit drinkin' gin and [C7] shootin' dice, 
he's in the [C] jailhouse [F] now
{eos}
[F] Well, old Bill broke out one day; I guess, he thought he get away
But at the railway station they took him by the [Bb] arm
The chief said, "I've come for you" and Bill said, "Now, this won't do"
[G7] Because Bill Campbell never was my [C] name

He's in the jailhouse [F] now; he's in the jailhouse [Bb] now
Well, old [C] Bill he broke out and all over town the fool [C7] walked about

He's in the jailhouse [F] now; he's in the jailhouse [Bb] now
Well, I [C] told him once or twice to quit drinkin' gin and [C7] shootin' dice
He's in the jailhouse [F] now [C] [F]
