He's in the jailhouse now.

He's in the jailhouse now.

Instead of staying at home, and leaving the rich folks' business alone:

He's in the jailhouse now.

Gm
Do you remember Henry Cruise? He sold that no good booze.

He sold it down to the police at the beat.
And now Henry's feeling funny, 'cause the police give him mob money:

He's got a ball and chain around his feet.
[Chorus 2]

He's in the jailhouse now.
