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
