In The Jailhouse Now |
I had a friend named Ramblin' 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 down town |
He’s in the jailhouse now he’s in the jailhouse now |
I told him once or twice quit playin' cards and shootin' dice |
He’s in the jailhouse now |
Yodel… |
He played a game called poker pinoccle with Dan Yoker |
But shooting dice was his greatest game |
Now he’s downtown in jail nobody to go his bail |
The judge done said that he refused a fine |
He’s in the jailhouse now he’s in the jailhouse now |
I told him once or twice quit playin' cards and shootin' dice |
He’s in the jailhouse now |
I went out last Tuesday met a gal named Susie |
Told her I was the swellest guy around |
We started to spend my money |
Then she started to call me honey |
We took in every cabaret in town |
We’re in the jailhouse now |
We’re in the jailhouse now |
I told the judge right to his face |
We didn’t like to see this place |
We’re in the jailhouse now |
Yodel |
