Intro
Verse 1
I had a friend named Ramblin' Bob
Who used ta steal, gamble and rob
He thought he was the smartest guy around
But I found out last Monday, that Bob got locked up Sunday
They’ve got him in the jailhouse way downtown
Chorus
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 de oh de lay-ee, yo-teee
Ah de oh de-lay-oh-de-lo-tee

Verse 2
Bob liked to play his poker
Pee-knuckle, whist and euchre
But shootin’ dice was his favorite game
Well, he got throwed in jail, with 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
Well, I told him once or twice
To stop playin' cards and a-shootin' dice
He's in the jailhouse now

And she started to callin' me honey
