In the Jailhouse Now
Jimmie Rodgers

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've 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


He played a game called his Poker

He knock on Whist and Euchre

But shootin' dice was his greatest game


Now he's down town in jail

Nobody to go his bail

The judge done said that he refused the fine



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


I went out last Tuesday

Met a girl named Susie

I told her I was the swellest man around


We started to spend my money

Then she started to call me honey

We took in every cabaret in town


We're in the jailhouse now, we're in the jailhouse now

I told the judge right to his face

We didn't like to see this place

We're in the jailhouse now
