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 nowWell 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 townHe'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 nowWell I went out last Tuesday

Met a girl named Susie

I told her I was the swellest man around

Well she started in to spend my money

She started in to call me honey

We took in every honky tonk in town
