paroles de chanson Jelly Roll Baker - Otis Spann

"Mr. Jelly Roll Baker, let me be your slave
When Gabriel blows his trumpet, then I'll rise from my grave
For some of your good jelly roll, crazy 'bout that good jelly roll
Yes, it's good for the sick, good for the young and old"

I was sentenced for murder in the first degree
Judge's wife call up and says, "Let that man go free!
He's the Jelly Roll Baker. He's got the best jelly roll in town
Only man can bake jelly roll, with his damper down"

She said, "Who taught you how, to bake good jelly roll?"
I said, "Nobody Miss, it's just a gift from my soul
To bake good jelly roll, crazy 'bout that good jelly roll
Yes, I love your jelly, it's good to my weary soul"

There was a man in the hospital, shot all full of holes
The nurse left the man dyin', to go get some good jelly roll
Says, "I've got to have my jelly, crazy 'bout that good jelly roll
Yes, I'd rather let him lose his
Life, than to miss my good jelly roll"

"Miss, can I put in my order for two weeks ahead?
I'd rather have your jelly roll than my home-cooked bread
I'm crazy 'bout you jelly, crazy 'bout that good jelly roll
Just like Maxwell House coffee, it do's me good deep down in my soul"
