[Dixielandjazz] Song Lyrics

[RAHBerry at aol.com]

I can't believe no one has submitted "I ain't gonna give nobody none of my jelly roll."  "I'm not going to give anyone any of my jelly roll" just doesn't have the same ring to it.

And then there's "See See Rider, see what you done done."
"SSR, see what you have done."  No poetry there.
