In the Jailhouse Now

I had a friend named Ramblin' BobWho used to steal, gamble and robHe thought he was the smartest guy in townBut I found out last MondayThat Bob got locked up SundayThey've got him in the jailhouse way downtown
He's in the jailhouse now, he's in the jailhouse nowI told him once or twiceTo quit playing cardsand shooting diceHe's in the jailhouse now
(Yodel)

He played a game called pokerPinochle, whist, & euchreBut shooting dice was his greatest gameNow he's downtown in jailNobody to go his bailThe judge done said that he refused the fine
He's in the jailhouse now, he's in the jailhouse nowI told him once or twiceTo quit playing cards and shooting diceHe's in the jailhouse now
