Ballin’ the Jack Songtext
von Jelly Roll Morton

Michigan water tastes like sherry wine
I mean sherry wine
Oh, but Mississippi water taste like turpentine
Michigan water tastes like sherry wine

Believe to my soul that gal got a black cat bone
Yes, black cat bone
She′ll go away but she's sure to come back home
Michigan water taste like sherry wine


She looks like a frog, hops like a kangaroo
If you ain′t got no hopper
Then she'll be your hopper too
Michigan watеr taste like sherry winе

Michigan water taste like sherry wine
Gal in Alabama, one in Spain
Another in Mississippi, scared to call her name
Michigan water tastes like sherry wine
Michigan water tastes like sherry wine
