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 quit playin´ cards and shootin´ dice
He´s in the jailhouse now

Yodel...

He played a game called poker pinoccle with Dan Yoker
But shooting dice was his greatest game
Now he´s downtown in jail 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

I went out last Tuesday met a gal named Susie
Told her I was the swellest guy 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

Yodel...
