VERSE I had a friend called Ramblin' Bob He used to steal and gamble and rob He thought he was the smartest man around But I found out last Monday They locked him up on Sunday They've got him in the jailhouse way downtown
CHORUS #1 He's in the jailhouse now The jailhouse now I warned him once or twice Quit playin' cards and shootin' the dice He's in the jailhouse now
VERSE Well, he played that game called poker Pinochle, whist and euchre But shooting dice, lord, it was his greatest game So now he's down in jail Nobody to go his bail The judge done said that he refused a fine
CHORUS #2 He's in the jailhouse now The jailhouse now I warned him once or twice You better quit playin' the cards and shootin' the dice He's in the jailhouse now
(YODEL)
VERSE Well, I went out last Tuesday I met a gal named Susie Told her I was the swellest man around We started spendin' my money She started callin' me honey We took in every cabaret in town
CHORUS #3 We're in the jailhouse now In the jailhouse now You know I told that judge right to his face I couldn't stand to see his place We're in the jailhouse now (YODEL OUT)
Jimmie Rodgers Peer Southern Music
OH, CAMILLE
VERSE Burnin' candles, watchin' shadows Long hours melt away in spider town Sultry ev'nings, whisperin' windows I sit and listen to the rain come down
CHORUS Oh, Camille, read all about it in my letter Oh, Camille ...
VERSE Howlin' wolves out chasin' deer make Dark, ugly pictures for my soul to see Pale pianos leave me wond'rin' "How go these nights of yours in Italy?"
(REPEAT CHORUS)
VERSE Took a walk down flights of stairs, I Went out to wander where the rain has been Saw a madman preachin' tombstones I'm feelin' better 'bout the shape I'm in
(REPEAT CHORUS)
BRIDGE Ain't got no jokes to tell Just lotsa books to read Wild hearts an' traffic sounds All poundin' ev'rywhere It's electricity It's flowin' into me I am at home in here These blues are right for me
