[Verse 1]
Somebody stole my man
Sweet papa Jelly Roll today
It hurts me to my soul
He's worth his weight in gold, I say
If I can't get him back, mama's gonna fade away
[Verse 2]
I love my baby, I don't mean maybe
I love that man, I'll tell the world I do
Oh how I miss him, I want to kiss him
Lovesick and sad am I
He's too mean to live and too doggone sweet to die
[Verse 3]
Yonder he calls, somebody go call him back
Lord, yonder he calls, somebody go call him back
Jelly's got all my money, and just left me the sack
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 4]
"T" is for Texas, "O" is for ocean blue
Lord, "T" is for Texas, "O" is for ocean blue
"J" is for papa Jelly, nobody else will do
