Thread Name: Origins: In the Jailhouse Now
Subject: Lyr Add: RAMBLING BOB/IN THE JAILHOUSE NOW^^
My dad used to sing this song back in the 40's only he called it RAMBLING BOB. The first verse was the same as the one you have listed above. The second and third verses with a different course are as follows.

I went out last Tuesday
And I met a gal named Susie
Thought she was the sweetest gal around
She started to call me honey,
Started to spend my money,
We took in every cabaret in town.

I'm in the jail house now,
In the jail house now,
I told that judge right to his face,
I didn't like this smelly place
I'm in the jail house now.

I once played a game called poker,
pinochle, whist, and euchre,
shooting dice was my favorite game,
a game the other night,
ended in a pistol fight,
The police officers came from miles around,
