I had a friend named Camel, he used to rob, steal and gamble
He tried everything that was low down
He was out tomcattin' one night when he started a big fight
Then a big policeman came and knocked him down
He's in the jailhouse now, he's in the jailhouse now
I told him over again to quit drinking whiskey, lay off of that gin
He's in the jailhouse now
Ah-dee-lee-dee-lo-dee-lee-yo-dee-hee
Dee-yo-dee-lee-dee-lo-dee-lee-yo-dee-hee
Dee-yo-dee-lay-ee-hee, lay-ee-hee, dee-yo-dee-lay-ee
Camel broke jail one day, decided he'd go away
But the police met him at the train
The cop says, "I've come for you." Camel says, "That this won't do
Because Camel never was my name."
He's in the jailhouse now, he's in the jailhouse now
Yes, he broke out, all over town the fool walked about
He's in the jailhouse now
Oh-dee-lee-dee-lo-dee-lee-yo-dee-hee
Dee-yo-dee-lee-dee-lo-dee-lee-yo-dee-hee
Dee-yo-dee-lay-ee-hee, dee-yo-dee-lay-ee-hee, dee-yo-dee-lay-ee
I met his old gal Sadie, she says, "Have you seen my baby?"
I told her he was downtown in the can
She went down to the jail just to go his bail
She says, "I've come down here to get my man."
She's in the jailhouse now, she's in the jailhouse now
So you can understand why old kid Sadie's in the can
She's in the jailhouse now
Oh-dee-lee-dee-lo-dee-lee-yo-dee-hee
Dee-yo-dee-lee-dee-lo-dee-lee-yo-dee-hee
Dee-yo-dee-lay-ee-hee, dee-yo-dee-lay-ee-hee, lay-ee-hee-hee-lay-ee
