Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Hello baby, I had to call you on the phone
Hello baby, I had to call you on the phone
'Cause I'm feeling so lonesome
And daddy wants his baby home
[Verse 2]
It's a down-right rotten
Low down dirty shame
It's a down-right rotten
Low down dirty shame
The way that you're treating poor me
You know I'm not to blame
[Verse 3]
Oh, jelly jelly jelly
Jelly stays on my mind
Well well well well
Jelly jelly jelly
Jelly stays on my mind
Oh, Jelly roll killed my pappy
And wrung my mama stone blind
[Verse 4]
Oh, Jelly roll killed my pappy
And wrung my mama stone blind, yeah
Written by: Billy Eckstine, Earl "Fatha" Hines
