Verse 1:
[C] I had a friend named Ramblin' Bob who used to steal, gamble and rob
He thought he [C7] was the smartest guy in [F] town
[F] But I found out last Monday that Bob got locked up Sunday
They've [D] got him in the jailhouse way down[G]town. [Gmaj7] [G7]
|Chorus:
|He[G7]'s in the jailhouse [C] now, he's in the jailhouse [F] now
|I [G] told him once or twice
|to stop playin' cards and shootin' dice
|He's in the jailhouse [C] now
Instrumental:
[F] [C] [G] [C]
Verse 2:
[C] Bob liked to play his poker, Pinochle with Stan Yoker
But shootin' dice [C7] was his greatest [F] game
Well he got throw'd in jail, with nobody to go his bail
The [D] judge done said that he refused the [G] fine. [Gmaj7] [G7]
|Chorus:
|[C] Well I went out last Tuesday, I met a girl named Susie
|I said I was the [C7] swellest guy a[F]round
|Well we started to spendin' my money, Then she started to callin' me honey
|We [D] took in every cabaret in [G] town. [Gmaj7] [G7]
Outro:
[G7] We're in the jailhouse [C] now, We're in the jailhouse [F] now
I [G] told that judge right to his face,
