When I was just a little young boy,
Papa said son, you ll never get far,
Tell you the reason, if you wanna know,
Cause child of mine,
* (SN)
There isn t really very far to go.
Well, baby baby wants a gold diamond ring,
Wants it more than any old thing,
Well when I get those jelly-roll blues,
Why I go and get anything in this world for you.
Down to the jewelry store packin a gun,
Says, "Wrap it up I think I ll take this one."
"A thousand dollars please," the jewelry man said,
Dupree said, "I ll pay this one off to you in lead."
*() () * These chords are optional
Well you know son, you just can t figure,
First thing you know you re gonna to pull that trigger,
(SN BASS)
And it s no wonder, your reason goes bad,
Jelly-roll will drive you so mad.
Judge said, "Son, it s gonna cost you some time."
Dupree said, "Judge you know that crossed my mind."
Judge said, "Fact it s gonna cost you your life."
Dupree said, "Judge you know that seems to me to be about right."
Baby baby you gonna lose her sweet man,
Dupree come out with a losin hand,
Baby s gonna weep it up for a while,
Then go out and find another sweet man s gonna treat her with style.
Judge said, "Son, I know your baby well,
But that s a secret I can never tell."
Dupree said, "Judge well it s well understood,
But you got to admit that sweet Jelly s so good."
Well you know son, you just can t figure,
First thing you know you re gonna to pull that trigger,
And it s no wonder, your reason goes bad,
Jelly-roll will drive you so mad.
Same old story and I know it s been told,
Some like Jelly Jelly, some like gold,
Many a man s done a terrible thing
Just to get, baby a shinin diamond ring.
