VERSE ONE  
C5 
I had a friend named Ramblin' Bob 
 
Who used to steal, gamble and rob 
                       C5             F5 
He thought he was the smartest guy in town 
 
But I found out last Monday 
 
That Bob got locked up Sunday 
        D5               D5                C5 
They've got him in the jailhouse way down town.

He's in the jailhouse now..He's in the jailhouse now 
   G5                                                G5 
I told him once or twice.To quit playin' cards and shootin' dice 
                      C5 
He's in the jailhouse now.

VERSE TWO 

He played a game called poker 

He knuckled with Dan Yoakum 

But shootin' dice was his greatest game 

Now he's downtown in jail 

Nobody to go his bail 

The judge done said that he will pay the fine.

VERSE THREE 

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 

Then she started to call me honey 

We took in every cabaret in town. 

BRIDGE 2 
G5                      C5 
We're in the jailhouse now 
             C5        F5 
We're in the jailhouse now 
  G5 
I told the judge right to his face 
                  G5 
We didn't like to see this place 
                       C5 
We're in the jailhouse now.
