Remember last election
Everybody was in action
Tryin' to find themselves a president
There was a man named Lawson
From New York down to Boston
Represent the colored people we had sent
My brother was a voter
Also, a great promoter
Goin' round, givin' advice
They'd go down to the poll and vote
Stead of voting once, he voted twice
He's in the jailhouse now
He's in the jailhouse now
We got him downtown in jail
No one to go his bail
He's in the jailhouse now
I went downtown last Friday
I met a girl named Lidday
I thought she was the swellest girl in town
She starts to call me honey
I thought to spending money
We went into a cafรฉ and sat down
I thought that I was in it
Buying a drink a minute
Buying wine, champagne by the jug
When I went to pay that man
I found that lady's hand
In my pocket where my money was
(He got her)
She's in the graveyard now
She's in the graveyard now
When I went to pay that man
I found that old girl hand
He's in the jailhouse now
He's in the jailhouse now
He's in the jailhouse now
When I went to pay that man
I found that lady's hand
He's in the jailhouse now
Everybody was in action
Tryin' to find themselves a president
There was a man named Lawson
From New York down to Boston
Represent the colored people we had sent
My brother was a voter
Also, a great promoter
Goin' round, givin' advice
They'd go down to the poll and vote
Stead of voting once, he voted twice
He's in the jailhouse now
He's in the jailhouse now
We got him downtown in jail
No one to go his bail
He's in the jailhouse now
I went downtown last Friday
I met a girl named Lidday
I thought she was the swellest girl in town
She starts to call me honey
I thought to spending money
We went into a cafรฉ and sat down
I thought that I was in it
Buying a drink a minute
Buying wine, champagne by the jug
When I went to pay that man
I found that lady's hand
In my pocket where my money was
(He got her)
She's in the graveyard now
She's in the graveyard now
When I went to pay that man
I found that old girl hand
He's in the jailhouse now
He's in the jailhouse now
He's in the jailhouse now
When I went to pay that man
I found that lady's hand
He's in the jailhouse now
