I had a friend called ramblin Bob

2 2 2 2 2 2 -1 2 3

He used to steal, gamble and rob

2 2 2 2 2 2 -1 2 3

He thought he was the smartest guy in town

   3 4 -3 3 2  4 -3 3 2 -1

I had told him once or twice

2 2 2 2 2 2 -1 2 3

to quit playing cards and shooting dice

2 2 2 2 2 2 -1 2 3

and now he's in the city jail downtown

  3 4 -3 3 2  4 -3 3 2 -1

He's in the jailhouse now.
