Shake It And Break It - Charley Patton

You can shake it you can break it you can hang it on the wall,
Throw it out the window, catch it 'fore it roll.

My jelly, my roll, sweet mama, don't let it fall.

Everybody have a jelly roll like mine, I lives in town,
I ain't got no brown, I an' I want it now.
My jelly, my roll, sweet mama, don't let it fall.

You can snatch it, you can grab it, you can break it you can twist it,
Any way that I love to get it.
I had my right mind, since I - I blowed this town,
My jelly, my roll, sweet mama don't let it fall.

Jus' shake it, you can break it, you can hang it on the wall,
