I had a friend named Ramblin Bob He used to steal gamble and rob He thought he was the smartest guy around Well 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 He's in the jailhouse now Well, I told him once or twice to stop playin cards and shootin dice He's in the jailhouse now
Bob liked to play his poker Pinochle whist and euchre But shootin dice was his favorite game He got throw'd in jail with nobody to go his bail The judge done said that he refused to the fine
He's in the jailhouse now He's in the jailhouse now Well, I told him once or twice to stop playin cards and shootin dice He's in the jailhouse now
