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.

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.

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...
