In The Jailhouse Now

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 a shootin' dice

He's in the jailhouse now

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 a shootin' dice

He's in the jailhouse now

I went out last Tuesday I met a girl named Susie

I told her I was the swellest man in town

She started to call me honey she started to spend my money

And 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 shootin' dice

We're in the jailhouse now
