I had a friend named Ramblin' Bob Who used to steal gamble and rob He thought he was he was the smartest guy around 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 stop playin' cards and shootin' dice He's in the jailhouse now

Bob liked to play his Poker, Pinochle, Whist and Euchre But shooting dice But shootin' dice was his favorite game Well, he got throwed in jail, with nobody to go his bail The judge done said that he refused a fine He's in the jailhouse now he's in the jailhouse now I told him once or twice quit playin' cards and shootin' dice He's in the jailhouse now
Well, I went out last Tuesday, I met a girl named Suzie I said I was the swellest guy around' Well, we started to spendin' my money An' 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 I told that judge right to his face, I don't like to see this place We're in the jailhouse now Yodel...
