[Verse 1]
I Gmremember last election, Jim Jones got election.
He said he's voting for the man who pays the biggest Dprice.
The next day after poll, he voted away his heart and D7soul.
But Ainstead of voting once, he voted Dtwice.
[Chorus 1]
GmHe's in the jailhouse now.
CmHe's in the jailhouse now.
DInstead of staying at home, and leaving the rich folks' business alone:
He's in the jailhouse Gmnow.
[Verse 2]
Do you Gmremember Henry Cruise? He sold that no good booze.
He sold it down to the police at the Dbeat.
And now Henry's feeling funny, 'cause the police give him mob money:
AHe's got a ball and chain around his Dfeet.
[Chorus 2]
GmHe's in the jailhouse now.
CmHe's in the jailhouse now.
DThe judge gave him 10 years, now Henry's shedding tears, boo-hoo-hoo-hoo.
He's in the jailhouse Gmnow.
[Solo]
[Verse 3]
GmSon went walking down the street, a little chick he chanced to meet:
So he went to every tavern in toDwn.
He drank lots of liquor, and the troubles soon got thicker,
Anow he's jailhouse Dbound
[Chorus 2]
GmHe's in the jailhouse now.
CmHe's in the jailhouse now.
DAnd if he's got a political friend, the judges sentence he will surely suspend
He's in the jailhouse Gmnow.
[Solo]
(over verse and chorus)
[Verse 3]
GmJim Jones likes to roam around, with every little girl in town,
until he met with Benny's Dwife. (slow down)
Then Benny got him in the face, and now he's a big disgrace.
AAnd now he's graveyard Dbound
[Chorus 2]
GmAaahooooooooo
CmAiiiiiiiiuuuuuo
DWell they used to be friends, but let's let that little matter end now
He's in the graveyard Gmnow, six fDeet under the Gmground..... Two-three-four
[Solo]
