Lyrics for The Easy Blues
Mister jelly roll baker Can I please be your slave When Gabriel blows his horn I'm going to rise from my grave For your sweet jelly roll You bake the best jelly roll in town You're the only man bakes jelly And you keep your devil down. They say: Can I place an order for three weeks ahead I'd rather have your jelly than my home-baked bread 'Cause I'm just crazy about you jelly I'm so wild about your jelly roll You're the only man bakes jelly And you keep it in your soul. You can take all my women You can sure keep them all I got a brand new secret That you can't catch on to at all I'm a jelly roll baker I bake the best jelly roll in town I'm the only man bakes jelly And I keep my devilr down. I'm the only man bakes jelly and I keep my devil down I'm the only man bakes jelly and I keep my devil down.
