[Verse 1]

C
I had a friend named Ramblin' Bob
Who used to steal, gamble and rob
                                      F
He thought he was the smartest guy in town
But I found out last Monday
That Bob got locked up Sunday
        D7                                 G7
They've got him in the jailhouse way downtown
            C
He's in the jailhouse now,

[Chorus (1)]
---------------------
            F
He's in the jailhouse now
  G7                    G11
I told him once or twice
                          G7
To quit playing cards and shooting dice
            C
He's in the jailhouse now

[Post-Chorus (1)]
---------------------
   F
Oh-lay-ee-ee-ee,
          C
Oh-dee-oh-dee-ee-ee
          G7
Ah-dee-oh-lay-ee-ee
                   C
dee-del-ee-dee, oh-lay-ee

   C
He played a game called poker
Pinochle, Whist and Euchre
                                       F
But shooting dice was his greatest game
Now he's downtown in jail
Nobody to go his bail
         D7                              G7
The judge  done said that he refused the fine
            C
He's in the jailhouse now,

[Chorus (2)]
---------------------
            F
He's in the jailhouse now
  G7
I told him once or twice
To quit playing cards and shooting dice
                      C
He's in the jailhouse now

[Post-Chorus (2)]
---------------------
          F
Ah-dee-oh-lay-ee-ee-ee,
          C
Ah-dee-oh-layee-ee-ee
          G7
Ah-dee-oh-lay-ee-ee
              C
dee-ee-ee, oh-lay-ee

        I went out last Tuesday

[Verse 3]
---------------------
Met a girl named Susie
                                        F
I told her I was the swellest man around
We started to spend my money
Then she started to call me honey
   D7                       G7
We took in every cabaret in town
             C
We're in the jailhouse now,

[Chorus (3)]
---------------------
                       F
We're in the jailhouse now
F  G7
   I told the judge right to his face
We didn't like to see this place
             C
We're in the jailhouse now

[Outro]

Ah-dee-oh-layee-ee-ee,

Ah-dee-oh-lay-ee-ee-ee
         G7               C
Ah-deeoh-lay-ee-ee-ee, oh-lay-ee
