[00:01.215]When I was just a little young boy
[00:06.074]Papa said "son, you'll never get far
[00:11.089]I'll tell you the reason if you want to know
[00:15.713]Cause child of mine, there isn't really very far to go"
[00:23.262]Well baby, baby wants a gold diamond ring
[00:28.644]Wants it more than most any old thing
[00:33.555]Well when i get those jelly roll blues
[00:38.492]Why i'd go and get anything in this world for you
[00:45.806]Down to the jewelry store packing a gun
[00:50.064]Says "Wrap it up. I think i'll take this one"
[00:55.498]"A thousand dollars please," the jewelry man said
[01:00.304]Dupree he said, "i'll pay this one off to you in lead"
[01:07.566]Well you know son you just can't figure
[01:12.582]First thing you know you're gonna pull that trigger
[01:17.231]And it's no wonder your reason goes bad -
[01:21.881]Jelly roll will drive you stone mad
[01:26.583]Judge said "Son, this gonna cost you some time"
[01:31.311]Dupree said "Judge, you know that crossed my mind"
[01:36.066]Judge said "Fact it's gonna cost you your life"
[01:40.820]Dupree said "Judge, you know that seems to me to be about right"
[01:47.690]Well baby, baby's gonna lose her sweet man
[01:52.523]Dupree come out with a losing hand
[01:57.382]Baby's gonna weep it up for awhile
[02:01.718]Then go on out and find another sweet man's
[02:06.472]Gonna treat her with style
[02:09.084]Judge said "son, i know your baby well
[02:13.682]But that's a secret i can't never tell"
[02:18.358]Dupree said "judge, well it's well understood
[02:22.590]And you got to admit that that sweet, sweet jelly's so good"
[02:29.852]Well you know son you just can't figure
[02:34.502]First thing you know you're gonna pull that trigger
[02:39.021]And it's no wonder your reason goes bad
