In the Graveyard Now - Pokey LaFarge

I remember last election

Jim Jones got election

he said he’s voting for the man that pays the biggest price

and the next day after poll, he voted with heart and soul

but instead of voting once he voted twice, uh-oh

He’s in that jailhouse now

He’s in that jailhouse now

instead of staying at home and leaving the rich folks business alone

He’s in that jailhouse now

You remember Henry Cruise, he sold that no good booze

sold it down to the police on the beat

and now Henry’s feeling funny cause the police gives him mob money

he’s got a ball and chain around his feet

Mmmm, He’s in that jailhouse now (Yepp)

He’s in that jailhouse now

Judge gave him ten years

Now Henry’s shedding tears, bu-hu hu hu

He’s in that jailhouse now (Yeah)

Son when walking down the street, a little chick he chanced to meet

so he went to every tavern in town

And he drank lots of liquor and the troubles soon got thicker

now he’s jailhouse bound

He’s in that jailhouse now (WHERE?)

He’s in that jailhouse now

And if he’s got a political friend, the judges scentence he will surely suspend

He’s in that jailhouse now

Jim Jones liked to roam around with every little girl in town

until he made it with Benny’s wife

and then Benny got him in the face and now he’s a big disgrace

and now he’s graveyard bound

well they used to be friends

but let’s let that little matter end

cause he’s in the graveyard now
