In The Jailhouse Now
by Webb Pierce
C
Well I had a friend named Rambling Bob
Who used to steal gamble and rob
C7 F
He thought he was the smartest guy in town
But I found out last Monday that Bob got locked up Sunday
D7 G7
They got him in the jailhouse way downtown
C
He's in the jailhouse now
F
He's in the jailhouse now
G7
I told him once or twice
To quit playin' cards and a shootin' dice
C
He's in the jailhouse now
Now I went out last Tuesday
I met a girl named Susie
C7 F
I told her I was the swellest man around
We started to spend my money
And she started to callin' me honey
D7 G7
We took in every honky tonk in town
C
We're in the jailhouse now
F
We're in the jailhouse now
G7
They told us once or twice
To quit playin' cards and a shootin' dice
C
We're in the jailhouse now
