Jelly Roll Blues by Edmonia Henderson Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Jelly roll, jelly roll, they're awfully nice and fine
Ain't a bakery shop in town can cook 'em sweet like mine
I love my jelly, and I'm a fool about my jelly roll
And when you taste my jelly, it will satisfy your very soul

[Verse 2]
You can talk about your jelly roll, but look what it done done
Done made an old lady marry her youngest son
He loved her jelly, he was a fool about her jelly roll
And when you taste my jelly, it will satisfy your very soul

[Verse 3]
Jelly roll, jelly roll, you ain't no friend of mine
Jelly roll killed my father and run my poor brothеr blind
He loved his jelly, hе was a fool about his jelly roll
And when you taste my jelly, Lord, Lord, Lord, Lord, Lord

[Verse 4]
I don't know how to make pies or cake
But you oughta see the jelly rolls that I can bake
I love my jelly, and I'm a fool about my jelly roll
And when you taste my jelly, it will satisfy your very soul
