Nina Simone - Jelly Roll lyrics

[Nina Simone - Jelly Roll lyrics]

Oh yeah, yeah ain't that bad, ain't that
Black, ain't that fine, yeah
Ain't that bad
Ain't that black and ain't that fine

Sunday after meetings and Saturday with a man
Sweet potato pie when you eat from the pan
Ain't that bad
Ain't that black and ain't that fine
Ain't that bad and ain't that
Black and ain't that fine

Can you dig it? Dancing the latest dance and
Eating ribs and tips
Digging all the new sounds and
Drinking gin in sips
Ain't that bad, ain't that black
And ain't that fine, baby
Ain't that bad, ain't that black
Ain't that fine i could go for a ride
On your sweet jelly roll
But I wouldn't give nothing for my juicy
Juicy soul

I could go for a ride
On your sweet jelly roll
But I wouldn't give nothing for my juicy
Juicy soul ain't that bad
Ain't that black and ain't that fine
Ain't that bad and ain't that
Black and ain't that fine
Let's go, let's go, let's go

To tie up my do right and tighten up my 'fro
Wrapping myself in black and still
I shine and glow ain't that bad
Ain't that black and ain't that fine
Ain't that bad
Ain't that black and ain't that fine
