In the Jailhouse Now #1

Lyrics

I had a friend called Ramblin' Bob
 He used to steal and gamble and rob
 He thought he was the smartest man around
 I found out last Monday
 They locked him up on Sunday
 They've got him in the jailhouse way down town
 He's in the jailhouse now
 The jailhouse now
 Hey, you know I warned him once or twice
 Quit playin' cards and shootin' the dice
 He's in the jailhouse now
 Well, he played that game called poker
 Pinochle, whist and euchre
 But shooting dice, Lord, it was his greatest game
 So now he's down in jail
 Nobody to go his bail
 The judge done said that he refused a fine
 He's in the jailhouse now
 The jailhouse now
 I warned him once or twice
 You better quit playin' the cards
 And shootin' the dice
 He's in the jailhouse now
 Well, I went out last Tuesday
 I met a gal named Susie
 Told her I was the swellest man around
 We started spendin' my money
 She started callin' me honey
 We took in every cabaret in town
 We're in the jailhouse now
 In the jailhouse now
 You know I told that judge right to his face
 I couldn't stand to see his place
 We're in the jailhouse now
