Pokey LaFarge - In The Graveyard Now lyrics

I remember last election, Jim Jones got election He said he's voting for the man that pays the biggest price The next day after poll, he voted with heart and soul But instead of voting once he voted twice 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 You remember Henry Cruise, he sold that no good booze He sold it down to the police on the beat And now Henry's feeling funny cause the police gives him mob money Now he's got a ball and chain around his feet 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 Son when walking down the street, a little chick he chanced to meet So he went to every tavern in town He drank lots of liquor and the troubles soon got thicker Now he's jailhouse bound 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 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
