In The Jailhouse Now |
| IN THE JAILHOUSE NOW |
| (Jimmie Rodgers) |
| «© '28 Peer International " |
| 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’ve got him in the jailhouse way downtown |
| 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 now |
| He played the game called poker he knocked all with an yoker |
| But shootin' dice was his greatest game |
| Now he’s downtown in jail nobody’s to go his bail |
| The judge done said that he’ll refuse to find |
| He’s in the jailhouse now… |
| Now I went out last Tuesday 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 cabaret in town |
| We’re in the jailhouse now we’re in the jailhouse now |
| I’ve told the judge right to his face we didn’t like to see this place |
| We’re in the jailhouse now |
