Jim Croce - Home Recordings: Americana

In The Jailhouse Now

I knew a guy named a-Ramblin' Bob
He used to steal, gamble and rob
He thought he was the smartest guy around
I found out last Monday
Bob had gotten locked up Sunday
And they've got him in the jailhouse way downtown

He's in the jailhouse now
He's in the jailhouse now
I told him once or twice
To stop playin' cards and shootin' dice
He's in the jailhouse now

I went out last Tuesday
I met a little girl named Susie
She told me I was the smartest guy around
She started me callin' me honey
Started in to spendin' my money
A big policeman went and knocked me down

I'm in the jailhouse now
I'm in the jailhouse now
Told me once or twice
To stop playin' cards and shootin' dice
But I'm in the jailhouse now
