My best man, my best friend
Told me to stop peddlin' Gin
They even told me to keep my hands
Out people's pocket where their money was in
But I wouldn't listen or have any shame
'long as someone else would take the blame
Now I can see it all come home to me
I'm sittin' in the jailhouse now
I mean, I'm in the jailhouse now
I done stop runnin' around with this one
And these good lookin' browns
Any time you see me, I was good time bound
With this one, that one, most all in town
I'm in the jailhouse now
I'm sittin' in the jailhouse now
