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 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 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
