Rollin' in my sweet baby's arms Rollin' in my sweet baby's arms Lay around the shack till the mail train comes back And I'll roll in my sweet baby's arms. I ain't gonna work on the railroad And I ain't gonna work on the farm I'll lay around the shack till the mail train comes back And I'm rollin' in my sweet baby's arms. Rollin' in my sweet baby's arms Rollin' in my sweet baby's arms Lay around the shack till the mail train comes back And I'll roll in my sweet baby's arms. --- Instrumental --- Mama's a beauty operator Sister can wheel and can spin Dad owns an interest in an old cotton gin Just watch that old cotton roll in. Rollin' in my sweet baby's arms Rollin' in my sweet baby's arms Lay around the shack till the mail train comes back And I'll roll in my sweet baby's arms. --- Instrumental --- Well where were you last Saturday night While I was laying in jail Walkin' the streets with another man You wouldn't even go my bail. Rollin' in my sweet baby's arms Rollin' in my sweet baby's arms Lay around the shack till the mail train comes back And I'll roll in my sweet baby's arms...
