(harmonica intro)

I'm a jelly sellin' woman
I sell it ev'ryday
I'm a jelly sellin' woman
I sells it ev'ryday
These women go on by
Hopin' I won't give it away

Two an a half a saucer
Five dollars a cup
Two an a half a saucer
Five dollars a cup
Ten dollars to the one
Ask an I'll wrap it up

I'm not a cheap woman
I sells out ev'ryday
I'm not a cheap woman
I sells out ev'ryday
My jelly's too expensive
You know, I can't give it away

Lord, jelly sellin' woman
Is heard all over town
The jelly sellin' woman
Is heard all over town
If you don't wan' get my jellyroll
Oh Lord, turn to brown

(harmonica & guitar)

I serve jelly
Serve it fresh an cold
I serve jelly
Serve, fresh an cold
Hurry, buy my jelly!
Time for my bakin' shop to close.
