In the Jailhouse Now Lyrics

[Chorus 1]
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

[Verse 1]
Well 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 got him in the jailhouse way downtown

[Chorus 1]
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

[Verse 2]
Well I went out last Tuesday
I met a girl named Susie
I told her I was the swellest man around
Well she started and to spend my money
She started and to callin' me honey
We took in every honky tonk in town

[Chorus 2]
We're in the jailhouse now
We're in the jailhouse now
They told us once or twice
To quit playin' cards and shootin' dice
We're in the jailhouse now
