In The Jailhouse Now Lyrics - Webb Pierce

He's in the jailhouse now, he's 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 a shootin' dice 

He's in the jailhouse now 

Well 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 got him in the jailhouse way downtown 

He's in the jailhouse now, he's 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 a 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 in town 

Well she started in to spend my money, she started in to call me honey 

We took in every honky tonk in town
