In the Jailhouse Now #1 |
| I had a friend called Ramblin' Bob |
| He used to steal and gamble and rob |
| He thought he was the smartest man around |
| But I found out last Monday |
| They locked him up on Sunday |
| They’ve got him in the jailhouse way downtown |
| He’s in the jailhouse now |
| The jailhouse now |
| I warned him once or twice |
| Quit playin' cards and shootin' the dice |
| He’s in the jailhouse now |
| Well, he played that game called poker |
| Pinochle, whist and euchre |
| But shooting dice, lord, it was his greatest game |
| So now he’s down in jail |
| Nobody to go his bail |
| The judge done said that he refused a fine |
| He’s in the jailhouse now |
| The jailhouse now |
| I warned him once or twice |
| You better quit playin' the cards and |
| Shootin' the dice |
| He’s in the jailhouse now |
| (YODEL) |
| Well, I went out last Tuesday |
| I met a gal named Susie |
| Told her I was the swellest man around |
| We started spendin' my money |
| She started callin' me honey |
| We took in every cabaret in town |
| We’re in the jailhouse now |
| In the jailhouse now |
| You know I told that judge right to his face |
| I couldn’t stand to see his place |
| We’re in the jailhouse now |
| (YODEL OUT) |
