In the Jail House Now Lyrics

INTRO: B E F# B
I had a friend named Ramblin' Bob
He use-ta steal, gamble and rob
He though he was the smartest guy around
But I found out last Monday, that Bob got locked up Sunday
They 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
Stop playin' cards and a shootin' dice
He's in the jailhouse now
Ah de yo-da lay-eee-he yo-teeee
Ah de oh da lay e-oh-de-oh-toooo
Yo da lay-e-heee
Yo da lay-e-heee
Yo da lay-heeeeeeee
Bob liked to play his poker
Pinochle, Whist and Euchre (Pronounced Yoh-ker)
But shooting dice was his favorite game
Well he got throwd 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
Stop playin' cards and a shootin' dice
He's in the jailhouse now
Ah de yo-da lay-eee-he-heeeeee
Ah de oh da lay ee-he-teeeeee
Yo da lay-e-heee
Yo da lay-e-heee
Yo da lay-eeeeeeee
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
Well I told that judge right to his face
I don't like to see this place
We're in the jailhouse now
Ah de yo-da lay-eee-he-yo-leeee
Ah de oh da lay ee-he-teeeeee
Yo da lay-e-heee
Yo da lay-e-heee
Yo da lay-heeeeeeee
