Way down yonder in
New
Orleans
Looking for a girl that I
hadn't never seen
They said she got good jelly
She she got good jelly,
she said she got good jelly that would satisfy your worried soul.
I want all you women just to understand,
just how you got to keep your man, you got to keep good jelly.
You got to keep good jelly, you got to keep good jelly if you
want to satisfy your poor man's soul.
Come on gal, with your pan and spoon, why not gal,
what you doin' when you makin' good jelly?
Oh, make good jelly, when you makin' good jelly,
just to satisfy your poor man's soul.
Get your jelly and your butter,
put it in the pan
Come on girl,
you know that you understand
You got to make good jelly
Oh, make good jelly
When you're makin' good jelly,
that will satisfy your poor man's soul
Yeah, the little voice that
wanna sing to the men
Wanna have fun, get your real pint of gin
Then you can get good jelly
Oh, get good jelly
You can get good jelly,
that will satisfy your poor old soul
Come on men with your doll
and your hands
Don't get tired because
your work will just
begin when you're getting good jelly,
oh, get good jelly.
When you're getting good jelly, that's
to satisfy your poor old soul.
All the people are saying that
it's a sin to shame.
Sin to start, and it's a shame when
you can't get good jelly.
Oh, get good jelly.
When you gettin' good jelly,
just to satisfy your worried soul
