In The Jailhouse Now Lyrics - Hank Snow

Well I had a friend named Gambling Bob he used to steal gamble and rob 

He thought was the smartest guy in town 

But I found out last Monday that Bob got locked up Sunday 

They got him in the jailhouse way down town 

He's in the jailhouse now he's in the jailhouse now 

I told him once or twice to quit playin' cards and a shootin' dice 

He's in the jailhouse now 

[ fiddle - steel ] 

Well I went out last Tuesday met a girl named Susie 

I told her I was the swellest man around 

We started to spend my money and she started to call me honey 

We took in every cabarete in town 

We're in the jailhouse now we're in the jailhouse now 

I've told the judge right to his face we didn't like to see this place 

We're in the jailhouse now
