Your calf is hungry mama

I believe he needs a suck

I say your calf is hungry mama

And I believe he needs a suck

Yes your milk is turnin' blue

I believe he's out of luck



Says I found out now mama

The reason why I can't satisfy you, save my soul

I said hey hey

Can't satisfy you, save my soul

Yes you've got a new cat

He's sixteen years old



But I'm gonna save my jelly mama

Gonna bring it right home to you

I said hey hey

Gonna bring it right home to you

You can't find no young cat

Roll jelly like this old one do



Says I got a new way of rollin' mama

I think it must be best

I said hey hey

Yes I think it must be best

Said these here North Carolina women

Just won't let Blind Boy Fuller rest



Mmmmmmmm

Just won't let me rest

Mmmmmmmm

Just won't let me rest

Said I got the kind of lovin'

Yes Lord I think it must be best



Said I roll jelly in the mornin'

And I also roll at night

I said hey hey

I also roll at night

And I don't stop rollin'

Till I know I rolled that jelly just right
