In the Jail House Now  The Soggy Bottom Boys

INTRO: B E F# B
[B]I had a friend named Ramblin' Bob
He use-ta steal, gamble and rob
He though he was the smartest guy a[E]round
But I found out last Monday, that Bob got locked up Sunday
They [C#]got him in the jailhouse way down[F#]town
[F#]He's in the jailhouse [B]now
[F#]He's in the jailhouse [E]now
Well I t[F#]old him once or twice
Stop playin' cards and a shootin' dice
He's in the jailhouse n[B]ow
[B]Ah de yo-da [E]lay-eee-he yo-teeee
Ah de oh da [B]lay e-oh-de-oh-toooo
Yo da [F#]lay-e-heee
Yo da lay-e-heee
Yo da [B]lay-heeeeeeee
[B]Bob liked to play his poker
Pinochle, Whist and Euchre (Pronounced Yoh-ker)
But shooting dice was his favorite g[E]ame
Well he got throwd in jail, with nobody to go his bail
The j[C#]udge done said that he refused the f[F#]ine
[F#]He's in the jailhouse n[B]ow
[F#]He's in the jailhouse n[E]ow
Well I [F#]told him once or twice
Stop playin' cards and a shootin' dice
He's in the jailhouse n[B]ow
[B]Ah de yo-da l[E]ay-eee-he-heeeeee
Ah de oh da l[B]ay ee-he-teeeeee
Yo da l[F#]ay-e-heee
Yo da lay-e-heee
Yo da l[B]ay-eeeeeeee
[B]Well I went out last Tuesday
I met a girl named Susie
I said I was the swellest guy [E]around
Well we started to spendin' my money
And she started to callin' me honey
We [C#]took in every cabaret in [F#]town
[F#]We're in the jailhouse [B]now
[F#]We're in the jailhouse [E]now
Well I [F#]told that judge right to his face
I don't like to see this place
We're in the jailhouse [B]now
[B]Ah de yo-da l[E]ay-eee-he-yo-leeee
Ah de oh da [B]lay ee-he-teeeeee
Yo da [F#]lay-e-heee
Yo da lay-e-heee
Yo da [B]lay-heeeeeeee
