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 
            B 
Ah de oh da lay e-oh-de-oh-toooo 
      F# 
Yo da lay-e-heee 

Yo da lay-e-heee 
      B 
Yo da lay-heeeeeeee

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 
Ah de oh da lay ee-he-teeeeee 
       F# 
Yo da lay-e-heee 

Yo da lay-e-heee 
       B 
Yo da lay-eeeeeeee

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 

B            E 
Ah de yo-da lay-eee-he-yo-leeee  
            B 
Ah de oh da lay ee-he-teeeeee 

      F# 
Yo da lay-e-heee 

Yo da lay-e-heee 
      B 
Yo da lay-heeeeeeee
