I had a friend named Ramblin' 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've got him in the jailhouse way down town
|
He's in the jailhouse now he's in the jailhouse now
|
I told him once or twice quit playin' cards and shootin' dice
|
He's in the jailhouse now
|
|
Yodel...
|
|
He played a game called poker pinoccle with Dan Yoker
|
But shooting dice was his greatest game
|
Now he's downtown in jail nobody to go his bail
|
The judge done said that he refused a fine
|
He's in the jailhouse now he's in the jailhouse now
|
I told him once or twice quit playin' cards and shootin' dice
|
He's in the jailhouse now
|
|
I went out last Tuesday met a gal named Susie
|
Told her I was the swellest guy around
|
We started to spend my money
|
Then she started to call me honey
|
We took in every cabaret in town
|
We're in the jailhouse now
|
We're in the jailhouse now
|
I told the judge right to his face
|
We didn't like to see this place
|
We're in the jailhouse now
|
