In the Jailhouse Now

Use A− / A+ to adjust text size
I had a friend named Ramblin' BobWho used to steal, gamble and robHe thought he was the smartest guy aroundBut I found out last MondayThat Bob got locked up SundayThey got him in the jailhouse way down townHe's in the jailhouse nowHe's in the jailhouse nowWell, I told him once or twiceTo stop playin' cards and shootin' diceHe's in the jailhouse nowBob like to play his pokerHe no coincident jokerBut shootin' dice was his favorite gameHe got throw in jailWith no buddy to go his bailThe judge don't said that it refused to fineHe's in the jailhouse nowHe's in the jailhouse nowWell, I told him once or twiceTo stop playin' cards and shootin' diceHe's in the jailhouse nowWell I went out last TuesdayI Met a girl named SusieI said I was the swellest guy aroundWell she started in to spendin' my moneyShe started in to callin' me honeyWe took in every cabaret in townWe're in the jailhouse nowWe're in the jailhouse nowWell, I told that judge right to his faceI don't like to see this placeWe're in the jailhouse now
