In the Jailhouse Now
I had a friend named Ramblin' BobWho used to steal, gamble and robHe thought he was the smartest guy in townBut I found out last MondayThat Bob got locked up SundayThey've got him in the jailhouse way down town.He's in the jailhouse nowHe's in the jailhouse nowI told him once or twiceTo quit playin' cards and shootin' diceHe's in the jailhouse now. [Yodel]He played a game called pokerHe knuckled with Dan YoakumBut shootin' dice was his greatest gameNow he's downtown in jailNobody to go his bailThe judge done said that he will pay the fine.I went out last TuesdayMet a girl named SusieI told her I was the swellest man aroundWe started to spend my moneyThen she started to call me honeyWe took in every cabaret in town.SongtexteWe're in the jailhouse nowWe're in the jailhouse nowI told the judge right to his faceWe didn't like to see this placeWe're in the jailhouse now.
