Letra 'In the Jailhouse Now' de 'Pink Anderson' traducida al español

I had an old friend name Campbell
Campbell used to steal and gamble
Made his living cheating all the while (yessir)
Had a little game he called euchre
Blackjack dice and poker
Thought he was the smartest dude in town

But I just found out Monday
Campbell got locked up Sunday
They got him in the jailhouse down in town
They got Campbell in the jail
No one to go his bail
That judge he won't accept no fine (they got'm)

He's in the jailhouse now
He's in the jailhouse now
I told Campbell once or twice
Stop playing cards and shooting dice
He's up on Broad Street now
(he's hardheaded, pay nobody no mind but they got'm)

I remember last election
When the white folks was in action
Trying to get theyself a president
A colored man by the name of Bill Austin
Walked from New York to Boston
Just to find a colored sentiment

Now my brother Bill's a voter
Bill's a great promoter
Always looking for some good advice
So they told Bill to go to the polls
And vote ????
Instead of voting once the fool voted twice (that settled it)

He's on the rock pile now
He's on the rock pile now
I told Bill to stay at home
And let other people's business alone
He's down in Woodruff now
(Hardheaded you know, wouldn't pay nobody no mind but they got to put him somewhere.
He ain't like me)

I walked up to town on Friday
I met a girl named Idey
I thought she was the prettiest girl in town (mmmmm)
She began to call me honey
And I began to spend all my money
We walked into a swell café and set down

Folks, I made sure I were in it
I was spending every minute
Buying white whiskey homebrew and wine everything by the quart
But when I went to pay that man
I found that lady's hand
In my pocket where my money was (that settled it)

She's in the graveyard now
She's in the graveyard now
I told the judge to his face
That woman's hand was out of place
She's in the apeyard now

Yo tenía un nombre viejo amigo Campbell
Campbell usa para robar y jugar
Hizo su vida engañando todo el tiempo (sí señor)
Había un pequeño juego que él llamó euchre
Blackjack dados y poker
Pensaba que era el más inteligente amigo en la ciudad

Pero me acabo de enterar Lunes
Campbell se quedó encerrado el domingo
Se lo metió en la cárcel en la ciudad
Tienen Campbell en la cárcel
Nadie va a su libertad bajo fianza
Que el juez no aceptará ninguna multa (que got'm)

Está en la cárcel ahora
Está en la cárcel ahora
Le dije a Campbell una vez o dos veces
Dejar de jugar a las cartas y jugando a los dados
Está en la calle Broad hasta ahora
(Él es testarudo, no paga nadie cuenta pero got'm)

Recuerdo las últimas elecciones
Cuando los blancos estaba en acción
Tratando de conseguir theyself un presidente
Un hombre de color con el nombre de Bill Austin
Caminamos desde Nueva York a Boston
Sólo para encontrar un sentimiento de color

Ahora mi hermano Bill es un votante
Bill es un gran promotor
Siempre en busca de un buen consejo
Así que le dijo a Bill que ir a las urnas
Y el voto??
En lugar de votar una vez que el tonto votado dos veces (que llegó a acuerdos)

Él está en la pila de rocas ahora
Él es
