Grateful Dead - Dupree's Diamond Blues Lyrics

Send "Dupree's Diamond Blues" ringtone to your cell

When I was just a little young boy

Papa said son youll never get far

Tell you the reason if you wanna know

Cause child of mine there isnt really far to go.

Well baby baby wants a gold diamond ring

Wants it more than any old thing

Well when I get those jelly-roll blues

Why I go and get anything in this world for you.

Down to the jewelry store packin a gun

Says wrap it up I think Ill take this one.

A thousand dollars please the jewelry man said

Dupree said Ill pay this one off to you in lead.

Well you know son you just cant figure

First thing you know youre gonna to pull that trigger

And its no wonder your reason goes bad

Jelly-roll will drive you so mad.

Judge said son its gonna cost you some time.

Dupree said judge you know that crossed my mind.

Judge said fact its gonna cost you your life.

Dupree said judge you know that seems to me to be about right.

Baby baby you gonna lose her sweet man

Dupree come out with a losin hand

Babys gonna weep it up for a while

Then go out and find another sweet mans gonna treat her with style.

Judge said son I know your baby well

But thats a secret I can never tell.

Dupree said judge well its well understood

But you got to admit that sweet jellys so good.

Well you know son you just cant figure

First thing you know youre gonna to pull that trigger

And its no wonder your reason goes bad

Same old story and I know its been told

Some like jelly jelly some like gold

Many a mans done a terrible thing

Just to get baby a shinin diamond ring.
