Lyrics for Song: Jelly Jelly (1963)
Lyrics for Album: Lonnie Johnson Blues Masters [1991]
Hello baby, I had to call you on the phone.
Hello baby, I had to call you on the phone.
'Cause I feel so lonesome, daddy wants his baby home.
You know it's darn right rotten, it's a lowdown, dirty shame.
It's darn right rotten, it's a lowdown, dirty shame.
The way you treats me baby, and I know I'm not to blame.
Jelly, jelly, jelly stays on my mind.
Jelly, jelly, jelly stays on my mind.
Jelly roll killed my pappy, and drove my mammy stone blind.
But if you treat me right baby, I'll come home every day.
If you treat me right baby, I'll come home every day.
But when you get mean to me mama, know you're gonna drive me away.
Well if you treat me right baby, I'll bring it to you night and day.
If you treats me right baby, I'll bring it to you night and day.
But if you double cross me mama, I'm goin'a take it to Mable just across the way.
