Fish In The Jailhouse

Peoria John told Dudlow Joe

I could break out of any old jail you know

The bars are iron, the walls are stone

All I need me is an old fish bone

We're serving fish in the jailhouse tonight

Serving fish in the jailhouse tonight

Serving fish in the jailhouse tonight

Alright, looka here

We're serving fish in the jailhouse tonight

Oh boy

We're serving fish in the jailhouse

Fish in the jailhouse tonight

Goldfin opal eye, hammerhead shark

Steelhead salmon or a mudbank carp

If I send one side door, I'll bring the other side sharp

Saturday night I'll be in Central Park

We're serving fish in the jailhouse tonight, alright

Looka here, that's serving fish in the jailhouse tonight

Alright

We're serving fish in the jailhouse tonight, oh boy

We're serving fish in the jailhouse

Fish in the jailhouse tonight

Ask Little John Jackson or the 44 Kid

Or Whitfield Faraday what I did

From Yazoo City down to Rolling Fork

From Natchez to Kenosha, from Newtown to New York

We're serving fish in the jailhouse tonight, alright

Looka here, fish in the jailhouse tonight

Alright, oh boy

We're serving fish in the jailhouse tonight

We're serving fish in the jailhouse tonight

We're serving fish in the jailhouse

Fish in the jailhouse tonight

Give me a nice gun treble or a chicken of the sea

Tell Scullion Childs I won't be late

You can bet your freedom I'm gonna clean my plate

Serving fish in the jailhouse tonight

Serving fish in the jailhouse tonight
