I had a friend named Ramblin' 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'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 a-shootin' dice
He's in the jailhouse now
(Yodel)
Ah di o-dalee eehee dee-o ti
Ah di o-dalee ee oh dee-o ti
Yodelayee-hee
Yodelayee-hee
Yodelay-eeee
Bob liked to play his poker
Pinochle, Whist and Euchre
But shooting dice was his favorite game
But he got thrown in jail
Nobody to go 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
Stop playin' cards and a-shootin' dice
He's in the jailhouse now
(Yodel)
Ah di o-dalee eehee hee
Ah di o-dalee eehee hee
Yodelayee-hee
Yodelayee-hee
Yodelay-eeee
Well, I went out last Tuesday
I met a gal named Susie
I said I was the swellest guy around
Well, we started to to spendin' my money
And she started to callin' me honey
We took in every cabaret in town
We're in the jailhouse now
We're in the jailhouse now
Well I told that judge right to his face
I don't like to see this place
We're in the jailhouse now
(Yodel)
Ah di o-dalee eehee o hee
Ah di o-dalee eehee deeo ti
Yodelayee-hee
Yodelayee-hee
Ah Yodelay-eeee
