Rollin' in my sweet baby's arms rollin' in my sweet baby's arms

Lay around the shack till the mail train comes back

Well I'm rollin' in my sweet baby's arms



I ain't gonna work on the railroad I ain't gonna work on the farm

I'll lay around the shack till the mail train comes back

Well I'm rollin' in my sweet baby's arms

Rollin' in my sweet baby's arms...

[ fiddle ]

Well where was you last Saturday night while I was lyin' in jail

Walkin' the streets with another girl you wouldn't even go my bail

Rollin' in my sweet baby's arms...

[ mandolin ]

Mama's a beauty operator sister can wheel and can spin

Daddy owns an interest in an old cotton gin just watch that all cotton roll in

Rollin' in my sweet baby's arms...
