Jelly Jaw Joe

[Old and In the Way]

Holy Cow....been a David Bromberg fan for, like, 35 years....and I had a bud e-mail this tune. Keeerist, this might be the greatest tune I've ever heard from Dave and the band. Definitely, the cheapest tune I've ever heard. That's what I love about living....you can always be surprised.

"I wanna tell you about Jelly Jaw Joe-
His pants were so high and his pockets were so low
He was funny with his money, slow with his dough
strange with his change,mean with his green, brash with his cash,
he would dive for a dollar and kill for a deal,
says he wants to take it with him and, Folks, I believe he will."
