I once had a friend named Campbell
He used to rob, steal, drink and gamble
He did everything that was low down
He was out tomcattin' one night when he started a big fight
A big policeman came and knocked him down
He's in the jailhouse now, in the jailhouse now
I told him once or twice
To quit playin' cards and shootin' dice
He's in the jailhouse now
I went out last Tuesday
Met a little girl named Susie
Told her I was the sharpest thing around
At first she started callin' me honey
Then she started spendin' my money
We made every honky tonk in town
We're in the jailhouse now, in the jailhouse now
I told him time and again
Lay off that whiskey, stop drinkin' that gin
He's in the jailhouse now
I went out last Tuesday
(What?)
Met a little girl named Susie
(Who?)
Told her I was the sharpest thing around
First she started callin' me honey
(Honey)
Then she started spendin' my money
(Money, honey)
We made every honky tonk in town
(In this town)
We're in the jailhouse now, in the jailhouse now
I told him time and again
Lay off that whiskey, stop drinkin' that gin
He's in the jailhouse now, in the jailhouse now
I told him once or twice
Quit playin' cards and shootin' dice
He's in the jailhouse now, in the jailhouse now
I told him several times
You're wasting you money spending your time
