Hank Snow In The Jailhouse Now Lyrics

In The Jailhouse Now Lyrics

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
