Album: O Brother, Where Art Thou?

In The Jailhouse Now [The Soggy Bottom Boys]

I had a friend named Ramblin' Bob

Who used to steal gamble and rob

He thought he was the smartest guy around.

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

Stop playin' cards and shootin' dice

He's in the jailhouse now.

Yodel...

Bob liked to play his poker...

Pinoccle with Dan Yoker...

But shooting dice was his favorite game.

He got throwed in jail...

With nobody to pay 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...

I said 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.

Yodel...
