When I was just a little young boy |
| [00:06.074] |
Papa said "son, you'll never get far |
| [00:11.089] |
I'll tell you the reason if you want to know |
| [00:15.713] |
Cause child of mine, there isn't really very far to go" |
| [00:23.262] |
Well baby, baby wants a gold diamond ring |
| [00:28.644] |
Wants it more than most any old thing |
| [00:33.555] |
Well when i get those jelly roll blues |
| [00:38.492] |
Why i'd go and get anything in this world for you |
| [00:45.806] |
Down to the jewelry store packing a gun |
| [00:50.064] |
Says "Wrap it up. I think i'll take this one" |
| [00:55.498] |
"A thousand dollars please," the jewelry man said |
| [01:00.304] |
Dupree he said, "i'll pay this one off to you in lead" |
| [01:07.566] |
Well you know son you just can't figure |
| [01:12.582] |
First thing you know you're gonna pull that trigger |
| [01:17.231] |
And it's no wonder your reason goes bad - |
| [01:21.881] |
Jelly roll will drive you stone mad |
| [01:26.583] |
Judge said "Son, this gonna cost you some time" |
| [01:31.311] |
Dupree said "Judge, you know that crossed my mind" |
| [01:36.066] |
Judge said "Fact it's gonna cost you your life" |
| [01:40.820] |
Dupree said "Judge, you know that seems to me to be about right" |
| [01:47.690] |
Well baby, baby's gonna lose her sweet man |
| [01:52.523] |
Dupree come out with a losing hand |
| [01:57.382] |
Baby's gonna weep it up for awhile |
| [02:01.718] |
Then go on out and find another sweet man's |
| [02:06.472] |
Gonna treat her with style |
| [02:09.084] |
Judge said "son, i know your baby well |
| [02:13.682] |
But that's a secret i can't never tell" |
| [02:18.358] |
Dupree said "judge, well it's well understood |
| [02:22.590] |
And you got to admit that that sweet, sweet jelly's so good" |
| [02:29.852] |
Well you know son you just can't figure |
| [02:34.502] |
First thing you know you're gonna pull that trigger |
| [02:39.021] |
And it's no wonder your reason goes bad |
| [02:43.540] |
Jelly roll will drive you stone mad |
| [02:48.007] |
Same old story and i know it's been told |
| [02:52.787] |
Some like jelly jelly - some like gold |
| [02:57.594] |
Many a man's done a terrible thing |
| [03:02.348] |
Just to get baby that shiny diamond ring |
