Jailhouse Creole      (ESP 1162)    (Elmer Sheffield, Jr.) 

Figure:   

Everybody in the whole cell block

dancin' to the Jailhouse Rock

Opener, Middle, Closer:

SF GS

The warden threw a party in the county jail

The prison band was there and they began to wail

The band was jumpin' and the joint did swing

You should've heard them locked-up jailbirds sing

Figure:   

Everybody in the whole cell block

dancin' to the Jailhouse Rock

There's a man down in New Orleans

Plays rock and roll like you never seen

A big gitar and a great big soul

Goes by the name of King Creole

He sings a little song 'bout a crawDAD hole

Sings a little song about a jelly roll

Sings a little song about pork and greens

Sings a little blues 'bout New Orleans
