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.
You can shake it you can break it you can hang it on the wall,
. . it out the window, catch it 'fore it falls.
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,
. . .it out the window, catch it 'fore it falls.
You can break it, you can hang it on the wall,
. . .it out the window, catch it 'fore it . . .
My jelly, my roll, sweet mama, don't let it fall.

I ain't got nobody here but me and myself,
I stay blue all the time, aw, when the sun goes down.
My jelly, my roll, sweet mama don't let it fall.

You can shake it, you can break it, you can hang it on the wall,
. . .it out the window, catch it 'fore it fall.
You can break it, you can hang it on the wall,
. . .it out the window, catch . . .
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,
And way that I love to get it.
I had my right mind, I be worried sometime,
'Bout a jelly, my roll, sweet mama don't let it fall.

Just shake it, you can break it, you can hang it on the wall,
. . .it out the window, catch it 'fore it falls.
You can break it, you can hang it on the wall,
. . .it out the window, catch it 'fore it falls.
My jelly, my roll, sweet mama don't let it fall.

I know I been to town, I - I walked around.
I start leavin' town, I - I fool around.
My jelly, my roll, sweet mama don't let it fall.

Just shake it, you can break it, you can hang it on the wall,
. . .it out the window, catch it 'fore it falls.
You can break it, you can hang it on the wall,
. . .it out the window, catch it 'fore it . . .
My jelly, my roll, sweet mama don't let it fall.

Just shake it, you can break it, you can hang it on the wall,
. . .it out the window, catch it 'fore it . . .
My jelly, my roll, sweet mama, don't let it . . .
