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 a shootin' dice



He's in the jailhouse now







Well I had a friend named Rambling 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 downtown



He's in the jailhouse now...



[ steel - fiddle ]



Now I went out last Tuesday I met a girl named Susie



I told her I was the swellest man around



We started to spend my money and she started to callin' me honey



We took in every honky tonk in town



We're in the jailhouse now...
