INTRO: B E F# B

I had a friend named Ramblin' Bob

He use-ta steal, gamble and rob
                  E
He though he was the smartest guy around

But I found out last Monday, that Bob got locked up Sunday
   C#                F#
They got him in the jailhouse way downtown

F#          B
He's in the jailhouse now
F#          E
He's in the jailhouse now
    F#
Well I told him once or twice

Stop playin' cards and a shootin' dice
            B
He's in the jailhouse now

B      E
Ah de yo-da lay-eee-he yo-teeee

Bob liked to play his poker

Pinochle, Whist and Euchre (Pronounced Yoh-ker)
                  E
But shooting dice was his favorite game

Well he got throwd in jail, with nobody to go his bail
   C#                 F#
The judge done said that he refused the fine



F#           B
He's in the jailhouse now
F#           E
He's in the jailhouse now
    F#
Well I told him once or twice

Stop playin' cards and a shootin' dice
            B
He's in the jailhouse now

B      E
Ah de yo-da lay-eee-he-heeeeee
       B

Well I went out last Tuesday

I met a girl named Susie
               E
I said I was the swellest guy around

Well we started to spendin' my money

And she started to callin' me honey
  C#            F#
We took in every cabaret in town

F#           B
We're in the jailhouse now
F#           E
We're in the jailhouse now
    F#
Well I told that judge right to his face

I don't like to see this place
            B
We're in the jailhouse now
