            [Intro]
C | C G | C G | C F | C

[Verse 1]
C
I had a friend named Ramblin' Bob

Who used ta steal, gamble and rob
                                      F
He thought he was the smartest guy in town

But I found out last Monday, that Bob got locked up Sunday
        D                                G
They’ve got him in the jailhouse way downtown

[Chorus]
                      C
He's in the jailhouse now
                      F
He's in the jailhouse now
  G
I told him once or twice

To quit playin' cards and shootin' dice
                      C
He's in the jailhouse now

[Yodel 1]
C           F
Oh lay-eee, Ee-ee-ee-heee
          C
Oh de oh, Ee-ee-ee-heee
           G
Ah-eee-oh, lay-ee-heee, yee-de-la-hee
   C
Oh-lay-heeee

[Verse 2]
C
He played a game called poker

Pee-knuckle, whist and Yoh-ker
                                   F
But shootin’ dice was his greatest game

Now he’s downtown in jail, nobody to go his bail
    D                                 G
The judge done said that he refused a fine

[repeat Chorus 1]

[Yodel 2]
C           F
Ah de yoh,  lay-eee-he-heeeeee
            C
Ah lee oh,  lay ee-he-teeeeee
            G
Ah de yoh,  lay-eee-he-heeeeee
   C
Oh lay-eeeeeeee

[Verse 3]
C
I went out last Tuesday

Met a girl named Susie
                                   F
I told her I was the swellest man around

We started t’ spend my money

Then she started to call me honey
   D                        G
We took in every cabaret in town

[Chorus 3]
G                      C
We're in the jailhouse now
                       F
We're in the jailhouse now
  G
I told that judge right to his face

We did’t like to see this place
                       C
We're in the jailhouse now

[Yodel 3]
C           F
Ah de yoh,  lay-eee-he-heeeeee
            C
Ah lee oh,  lay ee-he-teeeeee
            G
Ah de yoh,  lay-eee-he-heeeeee
   C
Oh lay-eeeeeeee
