Jelly Roll Morton had it about right;
Now Mr. Jelly Roll baker can I please be your slave
When Gabriel blows his trumpet, gonna rise from my grave
For your sweet Jelly Roll, ah you bake the best Jelly Roll in town
You're the only one bake Jelly, with your damper down.
Well I was locked up for murder, first degree
Judge's wife called up the judge, said "Let that man go free"
He's a Jelly Roll baker...bakes the best in town.
He's the only one bake Jelly, with his damper down.
Now I was in the hospital, shot full of holes
Nurse left a man dyin' for my sweet Jelly Roll,
I'm a Jelly Roll baker, I bake the best in town
I'm the only one bake Jelly, with my damper down.
Now you know my baby ask me, how I make such Jelly Roll
I said "Nothin' to it baby, it's a gift from my soul"
I'm a Jelly Roll baker, I bake the best in town
I'm the only one bake Jelly, with my damper down.
She said "May I please place an order for 3 weeks ahead?
I'd rather have your Jelly than my home cooked bread!
Ahh, you're a Jelly Roll baker, the best in town
You're the only one bake Jelly, with your damper down."
Ah, you can take my little women, you sure can't keep 'em long
I got me a new way of lovin, other men can't catch on
They're wild about my Jelly, mmm, my sweet Jelly Roll
Oh yeah I thrill them daddy, way down in their soul.
OK....where's my guitar?
