WEBB PIERCE - IN THE JAILHOUSE NOW lyrics

rate me

He's in the jailhouse now he's in the jailhouse now

I told him once or twice to quit playin' cards and a shootin' dice

He's in the jailhouse now

Well I had a friend named Rambling 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 got him in the jailhouse way downtown

He's in the jailhouse now...

[ steel - fiddle ]

Now I went out last Tuesday I met a girl named Susie

I told her I was the swellest man around

We started to spend my money and she started to callin' me honey

We took in every honky tonk in town

We're in the jailhouse now...
