Jailhouse Rockabilly

I was hanging in a bar one Saturday night

When a guy came in and started a fight

I hit him with a bottle got to see me stroll(?)

When up to the joint came police patrol

The punk told the fuzz I wasn't green

They said "hey cat, hope your feeling weak

You can try get along with the boys within your block

We got a lot of cats who just wanna rock"



Do the jailhouse, jailhouse rockabilly

Jailhouse, jailhouse rockabilly

Jailhouse, jailhouse rockabilly

Jailhouse rockabilly tonight



I know a couple guys on Block number 9

12 string guitar is a friend of mine

The warden is the cat with the ducktail hair

When they start to play he jumps in the air



Do the jailhouse, jailhouse rockabilly

Jailhouse, jailhouse rockabilly

Jailhouse, jailhouse rockabilly

Jailhouse rockabilly tonight



Well if i ever get free i'm gonna rock all night

I'll never join a rumble or start a fight

Swing my guitar across my back

Sneak down the road get away from my tracks



Do the jailhouse, jailhouse rockabilly

Jailhouse, jailhouse rockabilly

Jailhouse, jailhouse rockabilly

Jailhouse rockabilly tonight
