Don't Sell It‑Don't Give It Away
Oscar "Buddy" Woods

Says it was early one morning : about the break of day
Don't you hear me crying : won't you listen what I say
Early one morning : baby about the break of day
Well she told me not to sell it : papa don't you give it away
I said yes baby yes : then I said no baby no
I sold some jelly : I sure won't sell no more

Now you know you didn't want me : why did you so
Don't you hear me crying : little on and on
You know you didn't want me : baby why did you so
I can get more women : than a passenger train can haul
Now she told me not to sell it : don't you give it away
Don't you hear me crying : don't you listen what I say
She told me not to sell it : papa don't you give it away
You ought to keep that jelly : until Judgment Day
I said yes baby yes : then I said no baby no
I got a brand new gal : and I don't want you no more
