In The Jailhouse Now - Webb Pierce & Willie Nelson

He's in the jailhouse now 
He's in the jailhouse now
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

I had a friend named Rambling 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 got him in the jailhouse 
Way downtown
He's in the jailhouse now 
He's in the jailhouse now
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

I went out last Tuesday 
I met a girl named Susie
I told her I was the swellest man in town
She started to call me honey 
She started to spend my money
We took in every honky tonk in town

We're in the jailhouse now 
We're in the jailhouse now
We're in the jailhouse now 
We're in the jailhouse now
They told us once or twice
To quit playin' cards 
And shootin' dice
We're in the jailhouse now
