I had a friend named Ramblin' Bob |
|
Who used to steal, gamble and rob |
|
He thought he was the smartest guy in town |
|
But I found out last Monday |
|
That Bob got locked up Sunday |
|
They've got him in the jailhouse way down town |
|
He's in the jailhouse now, he's in the jailhouse now |
|
I told him once or twice |
|
To quit playin' cards and shootin' dice |
|
He's in the jailhouse now |
|
He played a game called his Poker |
|
He knock on Whist and Euchre |
|
But shootin' dice was his greatest game |
|
Now he's down town in jail |
|
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 |
|
I told him once or twice |
|
To quit playin' cards and shootin' dice |
|
He's in the jailhouse now |
|
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 |
|
We're in the jailhouse now, we're in the jailhouse now |
|
I told the judge right to his face |
|
We didn't like to see this place |
|
We're in the jailhouse now |
