In The Jailhouse Now - The Soggy Bottom Boys, Tim Blake Nelson

I had a friend named Ramblin' Bob

Who used to steal gamble and rob

He thought he was the smartest guy in town

But I found out last Monday

That Bob got locked up Sunday

They’ve 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 quit playin' cards and shootin' dice

He’s in the jailhouse now

Yodel…

He played a game called poker pinoccle with Dan Yoker

But shooting dice was his greatest game

Now he’s downtown in jail nobody to go his bail

The judge done said that he refused a fine

He’s in the jailhouse now he’s in the jailhouse now

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

He’s in the jailhouse now

I went out last Tuesday met a gal named Susie

Told her I was the swellest guy around

We started to spend my money

Then she started to call me honey

We took in every cabaret in town

We’re in the jailhouse now

We’re in the jailhouse now

I told the judge right to his face

We didn’t like to see this place

We’re in the jailhouse now
