Ham Bone Blues Lyrics

Ed Bell Ham Bone Blues

Jellyroll jellyroll : jellyroll is so hard to find
Ain't a baker in town : can bake a sweet jellyroll like
mine

I got to go to Cincinnati : just to have my hambone
boiled
Womens in Alabama : going to let my hambone spoil

Well she's mine and she's yours : and she's somebody
else's too
Don't you mention about rolling : because she'll play her
trick on you

That's the way that's the way : these barefooted soul'll
do
They will get your money : and they'll have a man on you

You come home at night : she got a towel on her head
Don't you mention about rolling : because she swear she
nearly dead

Jellyroll jellyroll : well you see what you went and done
You done had my grandpa : now you got his youngest son

I'm getting tired of walking : I believe I'll fly awhile
I'm getting tired of women : telling me their lies

I wonder : what made grandpa hey love your grandma so
She got the same jellyroll : she had forty years ago
