Though I’ve been from Maine to Mexico.

The war-den threw a par-ty in the coun-ty jail.

-8 -8 8 7 -6 7
The pris-on band was there

-8 7 -6 7 -8 7
and they be-gan to wail.

-8 -8 8 7 -6
The band was jump-in’

You should-‘ve heard

Spider Murphy played the tenor saxophone,
Little Joe was blowin’
on the slide trombone.

Everybody in the whole cell block
was dancin’ to the Jailhouse Rock.

Verse 4.
The sad sack was a sittin’
on a block of stone
way over in the corner
weepin’ all alone.
The warden said,
«Hey, buddy, don’t you be no square.
If you can’t find a partner
use a wooden chair.»
Let’s rock, everybody, let’s rock.
Everybody in the whole cell block
was dancin’ to the Jailhouse Rock.

Verse 5.
Shifty Henry said to Bugs,
«For Heaven’s sake,
no one’s lookin’,
now’s our chance to make a break.»
Bugsy turned to Shifty
and he said, «Nix nix,
I wanna stick around a while
and get my kicks.»
Let’s rock, everybody, let’s rock.
Everybody in the whole cell block
was dancin’ to the Jailhouse Rock.

Du har då aldrig trott på tårar
-8 -8 -7 +7 -7 +7 +6 +5
Det passar inte för en karl
-5 +6 +6 +6 +6 -6 +6 -5 +6
Om man är över femton vårar
-5 -5 -5 +5 -4 +5
finns inga känslor kvar
+7 +7 +7 +7 +7 -7 -8 +9 -9
Kan du förstå två våra kinder

Du bryr dig inte om mig mera

Du kan väl inte acceptera

den käraste, den käraste med ö- -gon blå.

Jag tänkte mig en vandrande
snöhöljd blomma
och drömde om ett skälvande, gäckande skratt,
jag trodde jag såg den mest älskade komma
genom skogen, över hedarna en snötung natt.

Jag tänkte mig en vandrande
snöhöljd blomma
och drömde om ett skälvande, gäckande skratt,
jag trodde jag såg den mest älskade komma
genom skogen, över hedarna en snötung natt.

Glatt ville jag min drömda på händerna bära
genom snåren dit bort där min koja står,
och höja ett jublande rop mot den kära:
«Välkommen du som väntats i ensamma år.»

Jag väntar vid min mila
medan timmarna lida
medan skogarna sjunga och skyarna gå.
Jag väntar på en vandrande
från färdvägar vida —
den käraste, den käraste med ögon blå.
