In The Jailhouse Now
(1954)

  He's in the jailhouse now (he's in the jailhouse now)
                        A                                  (-1)
  He's in the jailhouse now (he's in the jailhouse now)
    B
  I told him once or twice
          B7
  To quit playin' cards and a-shootin' dice
                        E    { ee g♯g♯ b♭ c♯c♯ ee c♯c♯ b♭ g♯g♯ } x 2
  He's in the jailhouse now

     E
Well I had a friend named Ramblin' Bob
Who used to steal gamble and rob
                                      A
He thought he was the smartest guy in town

But I found out last Monday
That Bob got locked up Sunday
     F♯7                              B7    !
They got him in the jailhouse way downtown

  Refrain

  Refrain  (instr.)

Well I went out last Tuesday
Met a girl named Susie
I told her I was the swellest man around

Well she started in to spend my money
She started in to call me honey
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 jail... house... now
