Shake It And Break It (but Don't Let It Fall, Mama) Lyrics - The Complete Recordings: 1929-34 - Charley Patton

Just shake it, you can break it, you can hang it on the wall 

Out the window, catch it 'fore it roll 

You can shake it, you can break it, you can hang it on the wall 

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 ya 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 

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 

Any 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 

Jus' 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
