Jellys Blues by Edna Taylor Lyrics
[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
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
