guitar chords lyrics
INTRO: B E F# B
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
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
B
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

Yo da lay-e-heee

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#
