Lyrics:
He's in the jailhouse now he's in the jailhouse nowI told him once or twice to quit playin' cards and a shootin' diceHe's in the jailhouse nowWell I had a friend named Rambling Bob who used to steal gamble and robHe thought he was the smartest guy in townBut I found out last Monday that Bob got locked up SundayThey got him in the jailhouse way downtownHe's in the jailhouse now...[ steel - fiddle ]Now I went out last Tuesday I met a girl named SusieI told her I was the swellest man aroundWe started to spend my money and she started to callin' me honeyWe took in every honky tonk in townWe're in the jailhouse now...
