In The Jailhouse Now
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I had a friend named Ramblin Bob
He used to steal gamble and rob
He thought he was the smartest guy around
Well 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
Well, I told him once or twice to stop playin cards and shootin dice
He's in the jailhouse now
Bob liked to play his poker
Pinochle whist and euchre
But shootin dice was his favorite game
He got throw'd in jail with nobody to go his bail
The judge done said that he refused to the fine
He's in the jailhouse now
He's in the jailhouse now
Well, I told him once or twice to stop playin cards and shootin dice
He's in the jailhouse now
Well I went out last Tuesday
I met a girl named Suzie
I said I was the swellest guy around
Well we got to spendin my money
And she started to callin me honey
We took in every cabaret in town
We're in the jailhouse now
We're in the jailhouse now
We're in the jailhouse now
Well I told that judge right to his face
I don't like to see this place
We're in the jailhouse now
