T Bone Burnett - In the Jailhouse Now lyrics

I had a friend named The 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 a-shootin' dice He's in the jailhouse now Ah di o-dalee eehee dee-o ti Ah di o-dalee ee oh dee-o ti Yodelayee-hee Yodelayee-hee Yodelay-eeee Bob like to play his poker Pinochle, whist and euchre But shootin' dice Was his favorite game But he got throwed in jail With nobody to go his bail The judge done said that he refused 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 a-shootin' dice He's in the jailhouse now Ah di o-dalee eehee hee Ah di o-dalee eehee hee Yodelayee-hee Yodelayee-hee Yodelay-eeee Well I went out last Tuesday I met a girl named Susie I said I was the swellest guy around Well, we started 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 I told that judge right to his face I don't like to see this place We're in the jailhouse now Ah di o-dalee eehee o hee Ah di o-dalee eehee deeo ti Yodelayee-hee Yodelayee-hee Ah Yodelay-eeee
