Webb Pierce
In The Jailhouse Now
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
Well 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 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
Well I went out last Tuesday
Met a girl named Susie
I told her I was the swellest man around
Well she started in to spend my money
She started in to call me honey
We took in every honky tonk in town
We`re in the jailhouse now
We`re in the jailhouse now
They told us once or twice
To quit playin` cards and shootin` dice
We`re in the jailhouse now
In The Jailhouse Now
He`s in the jailhouse now
He`s in the jailhouse now
