The Easy Blues/Gentle Blues - John Martyn

Mister jelly roll baker

Can I please be your slave?

When Gabriel blows his horn

I’m going to rise from my grave

For your sweet jelly roll

You bake the best jelly roll in town

You’re the only man bakes jelly

And you keep your devil down

They say «Can I place an order for three weeks ahead»

I’d rather have your jelly than my home-baked bread

'Cause I’m just crazy about you jelly

I’m so wild about your jelly roll

You’re the only man bakes jelly

And you keeps it in your soul

You can take all my women

You can sure keep them all

I got a brand new secret

That you can’t catch on to at all

I’m a jelly roll baker

I bake the best jelly roll in town

I’m the only man bakes jelly

And I keep my devil down

I’m the only man bakes jelly and I keep my devil down

I’m the only man bakes jelly and I keep my devil down

I’m the only man bakes jelly and I keep my devil down
