C
I had a friend named Ramblin' Bob
Who used ta steal, gamble and rob
F
He thought he was the smartest guy in town
But I found out last Monday, that Bob got locked up Sunday
D G
They’ve got him in the jailhouse way downtown
[Chorus]
C
He's in the jailhouse now
F
He's in the jailhouse now
G
I told him once or twice
To quit playin' cards and shootin' dice
C
He's in the jailhouse now

C
He played a game called poker
Pee-knuckle, whist and Yoh-ker
F
But shootin’ 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
[repeat Chorus 1]

I went out last Tuesday
Met a girl named Susie

I told her I was the swellest man around
We started t’ spend my money
Then she started to call me honey

We took in every cabaret in town
[Chorus 3]

We're in the jailhouse now

We're in the jailhouse now

I told that judge right to his face
We did’t like to see this place

We're in the jailhouse now
