Testo Jelly Roll Baker - Tom Rush
Testo della canzone Jelly Roll Baker (Tom Rush), tratta dall'album Tom Rush
Now, Mr. Jelly Roll Baker
Can I please be your slave?
When Gabriel blow 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 man bake jelly with your dapper down
Yes, 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
Now, and he bakes the best jelly roll in town
He's the only man bake jelly with his dapper down"
Now, and I was in a hospital, shot full of holes
Nurse left a man dying for my sweet jelly roll
I'm a jelly roll baker
And I bake the best jelly roll in town
And I'm the only man bake jelly with my dapper down
Now, you know my baby asked me
How I bake such jelly roll
I said, "There's nothing to it, baby
It's a gift from my soul
I bake good jelly
Ah, the best in town
And I'm the only man bake jelly with my dapper down"
She said, "May I please place an order for three weeks ahead?
I'd rather have your jelly than my home-cooked bread
I'm crazy 'bout your jelly
Wild about sweet jelly roll
You know you thrill me, daddy, deep down in my soul"
Now, you can take my little women
You sure can keep 'em long
I got me a new way of lovin'
All you other men can't catch on
I'm a jelly roll baker
Now, and I bake the best in town
And I'm the only man bake jelly with my dapper down
She said, "Mr. Jelly Roll Baker, can I please be your slave?
When Gabriel blow his trumpet, going to rise from my grave
For your sweet jelly roll
Ah, the best in town
You're the only man bake jelly with your dapper down"
Now, dapper down
Oh, dapper down
Whoa, dapper down
