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 to stop playin' cards and shootin' dice
He's in the jailhouse now
Bob liked to play his poker, Pinochle with Stan Yoker
But shootin' dice was his greatest game
