Easy Blues - John Martyn

Mister jelly roll baker, can I please be your slave?

When???

your???

on I’m gonna rise from my grave

For your sweet jelly roll

Bake the best jelly roll in town

You’re the only man baking jelly and you’re keeping your damper

down

They say ''Can I place an order for three weeks ahead?

I’d rather have your jelly than my own baked bread

'Cause I’m just crazy 'bout your 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 'em all

I’ve got a brand new secret that your men 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 baking jelly and I’m keeping my damper down

Underneath the trees, jelly in my knees

Got those gentle blues

Got me on the floor, got me screaming out for more

Of your gentle blues

Trying to get to you all day

I’ve been trying to get to hear you say

That you’re never going to let me lose my gentle blues
