Текст пісні
I had a friend named Ramblin' Bill
Used to steal, gamble, and kill
He thought he was the smartest guy around
But I found out last Monday
That Billy got locked up on Sunday
They got him in the jailhouse way downtown
He's in the jailhouse now
He's in the jailhouse now
Well, I told him once or twice
Quit playing pool and shooting dice
He's in the jailhouse now
Billy went out last Tuesday
Met a little girl named Suzie
He told her he was the smartest guy around
Well, she started into spending his money
Then she began to call him "Honey"
They took him into every honky tonk in town
He's in the jailhouse now
He's in the jailhouse now
Well, I told him once or twice
Quit playing pool and shooting dice
He's in the jailhouse now
You won't see Billy no more
He got locked up the night before
I guess he wasn't as smart as he made out
Well, Suzie took him for every penny
And now in his cell lies Billy
While Suzie is running all over town
He's in the jailhouse now
He's in the jailhouse now
Well, I told him once or twice
Quit playing pool and shooting dice
I told him once or twice
Quit playing pool and shooting dice
He's in the jailhouse now
