He's in the jailhouse now
He's in the jailhouse now
Well, they told him once or twice
To quit playing cards and shooting dice
He's in the jailhouse now
Now I had a friend named Rambling Bob
Who used to steal, gamble and rob
Thought he was the smartest guy around
But I found out last Monday
Bob got locked up Sunday
Now he's in the jailhouse way downtown
He's in the jailhouse now
In the jailhouse now
Well, I told him once or twice
To quit playing cards and shooting dice
He's in the jailhouse now
Now I went out last Tuesday
Met a gal named Susie
I told her I was the swellest guy around
She started to calling me honey
Then started to spend my money
We took in every honky tonk in town
We're in the jailhouse now
In the jailhouse now
Well, they told us once or twice
To quit playing cards and shooting dice
We're in the jailhouse now
Well, they told us once or twice
To quit playing cards and shooting dice
We're in the jailhouse now
