[G]
[F] I had a friend named Ramblin' Bob who used to [G] steal, gamble and rob.
He thought he was the smartest guy [Bbm] in town.
But I found out last Monday that Bob got locked up Sunday.
[A] They've got him [F] in the jailhouse way downtown.
[G] He's in the jailhouse now.
He's in the [Gb] jailhouse now.
[F]
I told him once or twice to quit playing cards and [B] shooting dice.
He's in the [G] jailhouse now.
[Gb]
[G]
[B] [G] He
[F]
[Bb] [G]
played a game called poker.
He knuckled, whisked and yokel.
But shooting dice was his [Bbm] greatest game.
Now he's downtown in jail.
Nobody to go his bail.
[G] The judge done said that he refused a fine.
He's in the jailhouse now.
He's in the jailhouse now.
I [B] told him once or twice to [Bb] quit playing cards and shooting dice.
[G]
He's in the jailhouse now.

[Bb] [G]
[G]
[C] I
[F]
[Bb] [G]
went out last Tuesday.
Met a girl named Susan.
I told her I was the swellest man [Bbm] around.
We started to spend my money.
Then she started to call me honey.
We took in every cabaret in town.
[G] We're in the jailhouse now.
We're in the jailhouse [Gbm] now.
I [Ab] told the judge right to his [B] face.
We didn't like to [G] see this place.
We're in the jailhouse now.
I'll be alright.
I'll be alright.
[Bb]
[F] [Bb]
[F]
[G] [Bb]
[F] [Bb] Oh I'll twine with my [F] mangles and waving [Bb] black hair.
With the roses so red [F] and the lilies so [Bb] fair.
And I'll march with [Cm] the emerald, [Bb] the pale and the leader [F] and [Bb] eyes look like blue.
I
[F]
[G] [Bb]
[F] [Bb] will dance, I will [F] sing and my love [Bb] shall be gay.
I will charm every heart in his crown I [Bb] will sway.
When I was dreaming [Cm] my [Bb] idol was clay.
A portion of [F] love had [Bb] all flown away.
[F]
[Cm] [Bb]
[F] [Bb] Oh he taught me to [F] love him and promised [Bb] to love.
And to cherish me [F] over all others [Bb] above.
How my heart feels at
[Eb] [Bb] once he's left me no warning, [F] no [Bb] words of farewell.
[F] [Bb]
[Cm]
[F] [Bb] Oh he taught me to love [F] him and called me his [Bb] flower.
That's blooming to [F] cheer him through life's dreary hour.
Oh I long to see him [C]
regret the [Bb] dark hour.
He's one that's neglected this pale [Bb] wildflower.
