Jelly Roll Baker Lyrics
Mr
Jelly roll baker
Let me be your slave
When gabriel blows his trumpet
Then I'll rise from my grave
For some of your good jelly roll
Crazy 'bout that good jelly roll
Yes
It's good for the sick
Good for the young and old
I was sentenced for murder in the first degree
Judge's wife call up and says
Let that man go free
He's the jelly roll baker
He's got the best jelly roll in town
Only man can bake jelly roll
With his damper down
She said
Who taught you how
To bake good jelly roll
I said
Nobody miss
It's just a gift from my soul
To bake good jelly roll
Crazy 'bout that good jelly roll
Yes
I love your jelly
It's good to my weary soul
There was a man in the hospital
Shot all full of holes
The nurse left the man dyin'
To go get some good jelly roll
Says
I've got to have my jelly
Crazy 'bout that good jelly roll
Yes
I'd rather let him lose his life
Than to miss my good jelly roll
Miss
Can I put in my order for two weeks ahead
I'd rather have your jelly roll than my home cooked bread
I'm crazy 'bout you jelly
Crazy 'bout that good jelly roll
Just like maxwell house coffee
It do's me good deep down in my soul
