E7 Am When I was just a little young boy, D G Papa said "Son, you'll never get far, E7 Am I'll tell you the reason, if you wanna know, D 'Cause child of mine, C Cm D G There isn't really very far to go." E7 Am Well, baby baby wants a gold diamond ring, D G Wants it more than most any old thing, E7 Am Well, when I get those jelly roll blues, D C Cm D G Why I'd go and get anything in this world for you. E7 Am Down to the jewelry store packin' a gun, D G Says, "Wrap it up, I think I'll take this one." E7 Am "A thousand dollars please," the jewelry man said, D C Cm D G Dupree he said, "I'll pay this one off to you in lead." G D C G Well, you know son, you just can't figure, Am G D C G First thing you know you're gonna pull that trigger, G D E7 And it's no wonder, your reason goes bad, Am D G C G Jelly roll will drive you stone mad. E7 Am Judge said, "Son, it's gonna cost you some time." D G Dupree said, "Judge, you know that crossed my mind." E7 Am Judge said, "(In) fact it's gonna cost you your life." D C Cm D G Dupree said, "Judge, you know that seems to me to be about right." E7 Am Well, baby baby's gonna lose her sweet man, D G Dupree come out with a losin' hand, E7 Am Baby's gonna weep it up for a while, D C Cm D G Then go out and find another sweet man's gonna treat her with style. E7 Am Judge said, "Son, I know your baby well, D G But that's a secret that I can never tell." E7 Am Dupree said, "Judge, well it's well understood, D C Cm D G And you got to admit that that sweet sweet jelly's so good." G D C G Well, you know son, you just can't figure, Am G D C G First thing you know you're gonna pull that trigger, G D E7 And it's no wonder, your reason goes bad, Am D G C G Jelly roll will drive you stone mad. E7 Am Same old story and I know it's been told, D G Some like jelly jelly, some like gold, E7 Am Many a man's done a terrible thing D C Cm D G Just to get, baby a shinin' diamond ring.
