In the Jailhouse Now (with Webb Pierce) Songtext
von Willie Nelson

He′s in the jailhouse now, he's in the jailhouse now
He′s in the jailhouse now, he's in the jailhouse now
I told him once or twice to quit playin' cards and shootin′ dice
He′s in the jailhouse now

Well, I had a friend named Rambling Bob
Who used to steal, gamble, and rob
All he was the sneakiest 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, he′s in the jailhouse now
He's in the jailhouse now, he′s in the jailhouse now
I told him once or twice to quit playin' cards and shootin′ dice
He's in the jailhouse now

Well, I went out last Tuesday
And hooked up name known Susie
I told her I was the greatest man in town
She started in to call me honey
She started in to spend my money
And we took in every honky tonk in town

We're in the jailhouse now, we′re in the jailhouse now
We′re in the jailhouse now, we're in the jailhouse now
They told us once or twice to quit playin′ cards and shootin' dice
We′re in the jailhouse now
