In the Jailhouse Now [34]

Jimmie Rodgers

Melody: re/mi\re/mi

I had a friend named Ramblin’ Bob

He used to steal, gamble, and rob

	C7	F
He	thought he was the smartest guy a	round

Well, I found out last Monday
That Bob got locked up Sunday

	D7	G7
They’ve	got him in the jailhouse way down	town

	C
He’s in the jailhouse	now

	F
He’s in the jailhouse	now

	G
Well, I	tol’ him once or twice

	G7
To stop playin’ cards and	shootin’ dice

	C
He’s in the jailhouse	now

Bob liked to play his poker

Pinochle, whist, and euchre

	C7	F
But	shootin’ dice was his favorite	game

Well, he got throwed in jail
With nobody to go his bail

	D7	G7
The	judge done said that he refused the	fine

	C
He’s in the jailhouse	now

	F
He’s in the jailhouse	now

	G
Well, I	tol’ him once or twice

	G7
To stop playin’ cards and	shootin’ dice

	C
He’s in the jailhouse	now

Well, I went out last Tuesday

I met a girl named Suzie

	C7	F
She	said I was the swellest guy	around

Well, we started to spendin’ my money
And she started to callin’ me honey

	D7	G7
We	took in every cabaret in	town

	C
We’re in the jailhouse	now

	F
We’re in the jailhouse	now

	G
Well, I t	ol’ told that judge right to his face

	G7
I don’t like to s	ee this place

	C
We’re in the jailhouse	now
