He stoled a diamond ring for some of Betty`s jelly roll

Betty tol` Dupree, `I want a diamond ring.`
Dupree tol` Betty, `I`ll give you anything.`

`Michigan water taste like cherry wine,
The reason I know: Betty drink it all the time.

`I`m going away to the end of the railroad track
Nothing but sweet Betty can bring me back

Dupree tol` the lawyer, `Clear me if you can
For I have money to back me, sure as I`m a man

The lawyer tol` Dupree, You are a very brave man
But I think you will go to jail and hang`

But all I wanted was Betty`s jelly roll

The judge tol` Dupree, `Jelly roll`s gonna be your ruin
`No, no, judge, for that is what I done quit doing`
