INTRO: 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
