Jellyroll Lyrics

Furry Lewis Jellyroll

I went to the Gypsy : get my fortune told
Lord the Gypsy told me : boy you got a jellyroll
Ain't nobody in town : cook a jellyroll like mine

I was first on Main Street : Lord and I started down
Beale
Looking for my girl : Lord that we all call Lucille

I know you don't want me : why don't you tell me so
Then you won't be bothered : with me around your house no
more

Lord my good girl quit me : my kid done put me down
I wouldn't hurt so bad : but the doggone news across town

We got a new way of spelling : Memphis Tennessee
Double M double E : Lord A Y Lord Z

Ooh : my gal done quit me now
I'm going to the river : I'm going to jump overboard and
drown
