Jelly Roll Blues Lyrics

I like my ice cream in a bowl
I like my ice cream in a bowl
Can't get enough to save my soul
But it ain't like Jelly Roll

[yodel]

I love Corinna, long and tall
I love my momma, long and tall
Baby can make a wildcat squall
Got the best jelly roll of all

[yodel]

Momma's got dem lovin' ways
Momma's got dem lovin' ways
Give her rope and watch her play
Jelly Roll's gettin' better every day

[yodel]

[Guitar bridge]

Many a night I've walked the floor
Many a night I've walked the floor
Walked the floor from door to door
Jelly Roll, where did you go?

[yodel]

When I'm gettin' grey and old
When I'm gettin' grey and old
Listen while I get you told
I'll still take Jelly Roll

[yodel]

[Guitar bridge]

My gal's worth her weight in gold
Momma's worth her weight in gold
You can have the weight and have the gold
But give me the jelly roll

[yodel]

Got dat jelly roll on my mind
I got dat jelly roll on my mind
Run me crazy and drove me blind
Jelly Roll's gettin' better all the time

[yodel]

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
