In The Jailhouse Now

He's in the jailhouse now he's in the jailhouse now



He's in the jailhouse now he's in the jailhouse now



I told him once or twice to quit playin' cards and a shootin' dice



He's in the jailhouse now







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



He's in the jailhouse...



[ steel ]



I went out last Tuesday I met a girl named Susie



I told her I was the swellest man in town



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



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
