I had a friend named Ramblin' Bob

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

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

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

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

BB      E MajorE
Ah de yo-da lay-eee-he yo-teeee
      BB
Ah de oh da lay e-oh-de-oh-toooo
   F#F#
Yo da lay-e-heee

Yo da lay-e-heee
   BB
Yo da lay-heeeeeeee

Bob liked to play his poker

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

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


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

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

BB      E MajorE
Ah de yo-da lay-eee-he-heeeeee
       BB
Ah de oh da lay ee-he-teeeeee
    F#F#
Yo da lay-e-heee

Yo da lay-e-heee
    BB
Yo da lay-eeeeeeee

Well I went out last Tuesday

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

Well we started to spendin' my money

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

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

I don't like to see this place

We're in the jailhouse now
