Jailhouse Now




C
I had a friend named Ramblin' Bob
C
Who used to steal gamble and rob
C7 F
He thought he was the smartest guy around
F
But I found out last Monday
F
That Bobby got locked up Sunday

D7 G
They've got him in the jailhouse way down south
C C7 F
He's in the jailhouse now he's in the jailhouse now
G
I told him once or twice quit playin' cards and shootin' dice
C
He's in the jailhouse now


I went out last Tuesday met a gal named Susie
Told me I was the smartest guy around
She started callin me honey
Started into spendin my money
A big poilice man came and knocked me down

I'm in the jailhouse now
I'm in the jailhouse now
Told me once or twice quit playin' cards and shootin' dice
But I'm in the jailhouse now
