In The Jailhouse Now Lyrics - Ernest Tubb

He's in the jailhouse now he's in the jailhouse now 

I told him once or twice to quit playin' cards and a shootin' dice 

He's in the jailhouse now 

I had a friend named Rambling 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 downtown 

He's in the jailhouse now... 

[ guitar ] 

Now I went out last Tuesday I met a girl named Susie 

I told her I was the swellest man around 

We started to spend my money then she started to callin' me honey 

We took in every honky tonk in town 

We're in the jailhouse now we're in the jailhouse now 

I've told the judge right to his face we didn't like to see this place 

We're in the jailhouse now
