Jimmie Rodgers
In the Jailhouse Now
[Chorus]
He's in the jailhouse now
He's in the jailhouse now
I told him once or twice
To quit playing cards and shooting dice
He's in the jailhouse now

[Verse 1]
Well 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 down town

[Chorus]

[Verse 2]
Well I went out last Tuesday
Met a girl named Susie
I told her I was the swellest man around
Well she started in to spend my money
She started in to call me honey
We took in every honky tonk in town

[Chorus]
