rollin' in my sweet baby's arms

i'm gonna lay around the shack

till the mail train comes back

then i'll roll in my sweet baby's arms. well

i ain't gonna work on the railroad

i ain't gonna work on the farm

hey

i'll lay around the shack

till the mail train comes back

and roll in my sweet baby's arms. well

i'm rollin' in my sweet baby's arms

rollin' in my sweet baby's arms

lay around the shack

till the mail train comes back

then i'll roll in my sweet baby's arms. well

now where were you last saturday night

while i was a lyin' in jail

hey

you're walkin' the streets with another man

wouldn't even go my bail. well

i'm rollin' in my sweet baby's arms

rollin' in my sweet baby's arms

lay around the shack

till the mail train comes back

i'll roll in my sweet baby's arms. well

now mama's a beauty operator

sister can wheel and can spin

hey

now daddy owns an interest in an old cotton gin

watch that ol' money roll in. well

i'm rollin' in my sweet baby's arms

rollin' in my sweet baby's arms

lay around the shack

till the mail train comes back

then i'll roll in my sweet baby's arms.
