He’s in the jailhouse now, he’s in the jailhouse now And I told him once or twice To quit playing cards and shooting dice He’s in the jailhouse now
I had a friend named Ramblin’ 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 And I told him once or twice To quit playing cards and shooting dice He’s in the jailhouse now
I went out last Tuesday A walk up a little Susie I told her I was the sexiest man around She started to call me honey She started to spend my money We took in every honky tonk in town
We’re in the jailhouse now, we’re in the jailhouse now And I told him once or twice To quit playing cards and shooting dice We’re in the jailhouse now And I told us once or twice To quit playing cards and shooting dice We’re in the jailhouse now
