Jelly Roll Blues Lyrics by Jimmie Davis

1935

I like my ice cream in a bowl
I like my ice cream in a bowl
Can't get enough to save my soul
But it ain't like Jelly Roll

[yodel]

I love Corinna, long and tall
I love my momma, long and tall
Baby can make a wildcat squall
Got the best jelly roll of all

[yodel]

Momma's got dem lovin' ways
Momma's got dem lovin' ways
Give her rope and watch her play
Jelly Roll's gettin' better every day

[yodel]

[Guitar bridge]

Many a night I've walked the floor
Many a night I've walked the floor
Walked the floor from door to door
Jelly Roll, where did you go?

[yodel]

When I'm gettin' grey and old
When I'm gettin' grey and old
Listen while I get you told
I'll still take Jelly Roll

[yodel]

[Guitar bridge]

My gal's worth her weight in gold
Momma's worth her weight in gold
You can have the weight and have the gold
But give me the jelly roll

[yodel]

Got dat jelly roll on my mind
I got dat jelly roll on my mind
Run me crazy and drove me blind
Jelly Roll's gettin' better all the time

[yodel]
