Lyrics
He's in the jailhouse now, he's 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 rolling those dices
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, he's 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 rolling those dices
He's in the jailhouse now
Well I went out last tuesday
I woke up led to Susie
I told her I was the prettiest 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
We're in the jailhouse now, we're in the jailhouse now
We're in the jailhouse now, we're in the jailhouse now
They told us once or twice
To quit playin' cards and rolling those dices
We're in the jailhouse now
