IN THE JAILHOUSE NOW

{t:IN THE JAILHOUSE NOW}
{st:Jimmie Rodgers}


Well [C] I had a friend named Rambling Bob, 
who used to steal, gamble, and rob
He thought he was the [C7] smartest guy in [F] town
But I found out last Monday, that Bob got locked up Sunday
They [D7] got him in the jailhouse way down-[G7]town


{c:CHORUS:}
{soc}
He's in the jailhouse [C] now, he's in the jailhouse [F] now
I [G7] told him once or twice,
    to quit playin' cards and a shootin' dice
He's in the jailhouse [C] now
{eoc}


He [C] played a game called poker, he knuckled with Dan Yoakum
But shootin' dice [C7] was his greatest [F] game
Now he's downtown in jail, nobody to go his bail
The [D7] judge done said that he will pay the [G7] fine


{c:CHORUS:}
{soc}
He's in the jailhouse [C] now, he's in the jailhouse [F] now
I [G7] told him once or twice,
    to quit playin' cards and a shootin' dice
He's in the jailhouse [C] now
{eoc}


Now [C] I went out last Tuesday, I met a girl named Susie
I told her I was the [C7] swellest man a-[F]round
We started to spend my money, and she started to callin' me honey
We [D7] took in every honky tonk in [G7] town


{c:CHORUS:}
{soc} 
I'm in the jailhouse [C] now, I'm in the jailhouse [F] now
I [G7] told him once or twice,
    to quit playin' cards and a shootin' dice
He's in the jailhouse [C] now

I'm in the jailhouse [C] now, I'm in the jailhouse [F] now
I [G7] told him once or twice,
    to quit playin' cards and a shootin' dice
He's in the jailhouse [C] now
{eoc}
