Mr. 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"
