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.
