In the Jailhouse Now

In the Jailhouse Now - Jimmie Rodgers (吉米·羅傑斯)

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'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

To quit playin' cards and shootin' dice

He's in the jailhouse now

He played a game called poker

He knuckled with Dan Yoakum

But shootin' dice was

His greatest game

Now he's downtown in jail

Nobody to go his bail

The judge done said

That he will pay the fine

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

I went out last Tuesday

Met a girl named Susie

I told her I was the

Swellest man around

We started to spend my money

Then she started to call me honey

We took in every cabaret in town

We're in the jailhouse now

We're in the jailhouse now

I told the judge right to his face

We didn't like to see this place

We're in the jailhouse now
