IN THE JAILHOUSE NOW

Words and Music By Jimmie Rodgers

C

Well, I had a freind called Ramblin' Bob.

C

Who used to steal, gamble, and rob.

C C7 F

He thought he was the smartest guy in town.

Dm A7

But, I dound out last Monday,

Dm A7

That Bob got locked up Sunday.

D7 G7

They got him in the jailhouse way down town.

CHORUS:

C

He's in the jailhouse now.

C7 F

He's in the jailhouse now.

G7

I told him once or twice,

G7 Gdim G7

To quit playing cards and a-shootin' dice.

C

He's in the jailhouse now.

Well I went out last Tuesday.

I met a gal named Susie.

I told -er I was the swellest guy around.

We started to spend my money,

Then she started to call me "Honey".

We took in every Honky-tonk in town.

CHORUS
