[Verse 1]
Jelly roll, jelly roll, you can see it on the fence
If you don't go get it, you ain't got no sense
I'm wild about my jelly, 'bout my sweet jelly roll
When you taste my jelly, mama can't keep you at home

[Verse 2]
Can make a blind man see, a lame man walk
He'd make a deef woman hear and a little baby talk
I'm wild about my jelly, 'bout my sweet jelly roll
When you taste my jelly, mama can't keep you at home

[Verse 3]
Now I'll tell all you people what jelly roll done done
Made grandmama marry her youngest grandson
Made her wild about her jelly, 'bout her sweet jelly roll
When you taste my jelly, mama can't keep you at home

[Verse 4]
Jelly roll is a thing a man won't do without
He'll [?] if the people put him out
I'm wild about my jelly, 'bout my sweet jelly roll
When you taste my jelly, your mama can't keep you at home

[Verse 5]
I went up on the mountain, looked down in the sea
A good-lookin' woman winked her eye at me
She's wild about jelly, 'bout my sweet jelly roll
When you taste my jelly, mama can't keep you at home

[Verse 6]
If you don't believe my jelly roll will do
You can ask anybody on Auburn Avenue
I'm wild about my jelly, about my sweet jelly roll
When you taste my jelly, mama can't keep you at home
