Song by The Soggy Bottom Boys<br /><br>

I had a friend named Ramblin' Bob<br>

Who used to steal gamble and rob<br>

He thought he was the smartest guy in town<br>

But I found out last Monday<br>

That Bob got locked up Sunday<br>

They've got him in the jailhouse way down town<br>

He's in the jailhouse now he's in the jailhouse now<br>

I told him once or twice quit playin' cards and shootin' dice<br>

He's in the jailhouse now<br>

<br>

Yodel...<br>

<br>

He played a game called poker pinoccle with Dan Yoker<br>

But shooting dice was his greatest game<br>

Now he's downtown in jail nobody to go his bail<br>

The judge done said that he refused a fine<br>

He's in the jailhouse now he's in the jailhouse now<br>

I told him once or twice quit playin' cards and shootin' dice<br>

He's in the jailhouse now<br>

<br>

I went out last Tuesday met a gal named Susie<br>

Told her I was the swellest guy around<br>

We started to spend my money<br>

Then she started to call me honey<br>

We took in every cabaret in town<br>

We're in the jailhouse now<br>

We're in the jailhouse now<br>

I told the judge right to his face<br>

We didn't like to see this place<br>

We're in the jailhouse now<br>

<br>

Yodel...<br>

<br>
