Well, if you want

To ease your mind

You just go on

Take it to the river

When you're down

Well, that's alright

You just bring it down to jelly roll We're gonna run

And jump and shout

We're gonna slide

Way back in the country

There's a place

Where they treat you right

You just bring it down to jelly roll Now little girls

The way down south

They got their way

Honey drippin' from their mouth

If you ever get some luck

You better bring it down to jelly roll Now look at me

Lord, I ain't got a dime

But I can dance

Lord, I'm jumping all the time

I live honey, straight to the bone

And just bring it down to jelly roll Well, if you want

To ease your mind

You just go on

Take it to the river

When you're down

Well, that's alright

You just bring it down to jelly roll
