"In the Jailhouse Now" is an American novelty blues song originally found in vaudeville performances from the early 20th century,[1] usually credited to Jimmie Rodgers. The song's first two verses trace the exploits of Ramblin’ Bob, who cheats at cards and gets caught, while the final verse tells about taking a girl named Susie out on the town and winding up in jail together.[2]
