Lyrics

I had a friend named The Ramblin' Bob
He used to steal, gamble and rob
He thought he was the smartest guy around
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
Well, I told him once or twice
To stop playin' cards and a-shootin' dice
He's in the jailhouse now
Bob liked to play his poker
Pinochle, whist and euchre
But shooting dice was his favorite game
Well, he got throwed in jail
With 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
Well, I told him once or twice
To stop playin' cards and a-shootin' dice
He's in the jailhouse now
Well, I went out last Tuesday
I met a gal named Susie
I said I was the swellest guy around
Well, we started to spendin' 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
Well, I told that judge right to his face
I don't like to see this place
We're in the jailhouse now
