In the Jailhouse Now

(Clint)

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

Well, I told him once or twice

To quit playin' cards and shootin' them dice

He's in the jailhouse now

(Marty)

Well, I had a friend named Ramblin' Bob

Who used to steal, gamble and rob

He thought he was the smartest man in town

But I found out last Monday

Bob got locked up Sunday

And they've got him in the jailhouse a way downtown

(Marty & Clint)

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

Well, I told him once or twice

To quit playin' cards and shootin' them dice

He's in the jailhouse now

(John Anderson)

Well, I went out last Tuesday

And met a little girl named Susie

I told her I was the swellest man around

We started to spend my money

She started into calling me honey

We took in every honkytonk in town

(Marty, Clint & John)

And we're in the jailhouse now,

we're in the jailhouse now

Well, they told us once or twice

To quit playin' cards and shootin' dice

We're in the jailhouse now

(David Frizzell, Clint)

I went to see Clint, John and Marty

Brought a bottle for a jailhouse party

And Clint said:

"Pour yourself a drink, c'mon in"

The jailer locked the door behind me

Tomorrow you'll know where to find me

Then Clint said:

"You mean you only brought one quart of gin?"

(Marty, Clint, John, David)

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

You told me once or twice

To quit playin' cards and shootin' dice

We're in the jailhouse now
