Align:    
  • When I was just a little young boy,
  • Papa said son, youll never get far,
  • Tell you the reason, if you wanna know,
  • Cause child of mine, there isnt really far to go.
  • Well, baby baby wants a gold diamond ring,
  • Wants it more than any old thing,
  • Well when I get those jelly-roll blues,
  • Why I go and get anything in this world for you.
  • Down to the jewelry store packin a gun,
  • Says, wrap it up I think Ill take this one.
  • A thousand dollars please, the jewelry man said,
  • Dupree said, Ill pay this one off to you in lead.
  • Well you know son, you just cant figure,
  • First thing you know youre gonna to pull that trigger,
  • And its no wonder, your reason goes bad,
  • Jelly-roll will drive you so mad.
  • Judge said, son, its gonna cost you some time.
  • Dupree said, judge you know that crossed my mind.
  • Judge said, fact its gonna cost you your life.
  • Dupree said, judge you know that seems to me to be about right.
  • Baby baby you gonna lose her sweet man,
  • Dupree come out with a losin hand,
  • Babys gonna weep it up for a while,
  • Then go out and find another sweet mans gonna treat her with style.
  • Judge said, son, I know your baby well,
  • But thats a secret I can never tell.
  • Dupree said, judge well its well understood,
  • But you got to admit that sweet jellys so good.
  • Well you know son, you just cant figure,
  • First thing you know youre gonna to pull that trigger,
  • And its no wonder, your reason goes bad,
  • Same old story and I know its been told,
  • Some like jelly jelly, some like gold,
  • Many a mans done a terrible thing
  • Just to get, baby a shinin diamond ring.
