Jelly roll, jelly, lay down on my mind
Run your mama crazy, babe, and run your papa blind
Jelly, hey, my jelly roll
Because the world going crazy 'bout my sweet jelly roll
Jelly roll, my jelly, [?]
There's something 'bout your jelly [?]
Mama, jelly, hey, my jelly roll
Because the world going crazy 'bout my
'Bout my sweet jelly roll
Jelly roll, jelly, sittin' up on a fence
If you don't come and get it you ain't got no sense
Jelly, hey, my jelly roll
Because the world gone crazy 'bout my
'Bout my sweet jelly roll
Now I'm going down to Richmond to get my jelly boiled
For these women folks 'round New York, they're gonna let my jelly spoil
Jelly, hey, my jelly roll
Because the world going crazy trying to dig my jelly roll
Jelly roll, jelly, if you don't believe it's true
If you want to see some grand jelly, walk down 7th Avenue
Oh jelly, hey, my jelly roll
Because the world going crazy trying to dig my jelly roll
We gonna sing this here verse, we ain't gonna sing no more
If you wanna hear it again, spread some quarters on the floor
Oh jelly, hey, my jelly roll
Because the world going crazy trying to dig my jelly
Trying to dig my jelly, trying to dig my jelly roll
