In the Jail House Now Songtext
von Dale Watson

We′re in the jailhouse now (we're in the jailhouse now)
In the jailhouse now (in the jailhouse now)
And I told him once or twice
Quit playin′ cards and shootin' dice
In the jailhouse now

Well, I had a friend named Ramblin' Bob
Who used to steal, gamble and rob
Thought he was the biggest man around
But I got word last Monday
Bob got locked up Sunday
They got him in the jailhouse way down town


He′s in the jailhouse now (he′s in the jailhouse now)
In the jailhouse now (in the jailhouse now)
And I told him once or twice
Quit playin' cards and shootin′ dice
He's in the jailhouse now (alright, Ricky)

Well, I woke up last Tuesday
With a pretty little girl named Susie
She said I was the swingingest man around
And she started in to call me honey
Started in to spend my money

We took in every honky tonk in town
We′re in the jailhouse now (we're in the jailhouse now)
In the jailhouse now (in the jailhouse now)
They′ve told us once or twice
To quit playin' cards and shootin' dice
We′re in the jailhouse now

Thank you so much
Thank y′all
Thank you
