Lyrics:

Once I had a girl, I did not treat her right
Did not treat her right
Had a girl and I did not treat her right
She'd work all day
I'd stay out all night

Tell me why why why
Should I cry cry cry
Jelly roll
Jelly roll
Now she's gone and I got my jelly
I got my jelly roll

She handed me her love on a silver tray
On a silver tray
She handed me her love on a silver tray
I was young
And I let it slip away

Tell me why why why
Should I cry cry cry
Jelly roll
Jelly roll
Now she's gone and I got my jelly
Got my jelly roll

Anything I'd want, I only had to ask
Only had to ask
Anything, I only had to ask
Too bad I never asked
To make that last

Tell me why why why
Should I cry cry cry
Jelly roll
Jelly roll
Now she's gone and I got my jelly
Got my jelly roll
Now she's gone and I got my jelly
I got my jelly roll
