In The Jailhouse Now

He's in the jailhouse now

He's in the jailhouse now

I told him once or twice

To quit playin' cards and shootin' dice

He's in the jailhouse now

Well I had a friend named Ramblin' Bob

Who used to steal, gamble and rob

He thought he was the smartest guy in town

But I found out last Monday

That Bob got locked up Sunday

They got him in the jailhouse way down town

He's in the jailhouse now

He's in the jailhouse now

I told him once or twice

To quit playin' cards and shootin' dice

He's in the jailhouse now

Well I went out last Tueasday

Met a girl named Susie

I told her I was the swellest man around

Well she started to spend my money

She started in to call me honey

We took in every honky tonk in town

We're in the jailhouse now

We're in the jailhouse now

They told us once or twice

To qiut playin' cards and shootin' dice

We'e in the jailhouse now
