Hank Thompson - In the Jailhouse Now lyrics

IN THE JAILHOUSE NOW (Jimmie Rodgers) «© '28 Peer International» 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've got him in the jailhouse way downtown He's in the jailhouse now he's in the jailhouse now I told him once or twice to quit playin' cards and shootin' dice He's in the jailhouse now He played the game called poker he knocked all with an yoker But shootin' dice was his greatest game Now he's downtown in jail nobody's to go his bail The judge done said that he'll refuse to find He's in the jailhouse now... Now I went out last Tuesday met a girl named Susie I told her I was the swellest man around We started to spend 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 I've told the judge right to his face we didn't like to see this place We're in the jailhouse now
