You'll Never Miss Your Jelly

I woke up this morning with the blues all 'round my bed
I woke up this morning with the blues all 'round my bed
I felt just like
somebody in my family was dead

I began to moan
and I began to cry
I began to moan
and I began to cry
My sweet man went away
didn't know the reason why

If you don't like my sweet potato
what made you dig so deep
If you don't like my sweet potato
what made you dig so deep
Dig my potato field
three, four times a week

Whoopin', I been whoopin'
whoopin' all night long
Whoopin', I been whoopin'
whoopin' all night long
Whoopin', I been whoopin'
ever since my man been gone
(Oh shake that thing, Mr. Avery. You play it so good.)
(Mmmm, the blues sure sound good this morning.)
(Don't kill that half pint.)

My dog jumped a rabbit
the rabbit fell down on his knees
My dog jumped a rabbit
the rabbit fell down on his knees
He looked up at the dog
he said, Won't you have mercy on me please

Just as sure as you
hear me sing this song
Just as sure as you
hear me sing this song
You sure won't miss your jelly
till your jelly roller's gone
