Well I'm rollin' in my sweet baby's arms I'm rollin' in my sweet baby's arms
I'm gonna lay around the shack till the mail train comes back
I'm rollin' in my sweet baby's arms

Now I ain't gonna work on the railroad I sure ain't gonna work on the farm
I'll lay around the shack till the mail train comes back
I'm rollin' in my sweet baby's arms

Yes I'm rollin' in my sweet baby's arms...

[ guitar ]
I'm rollin' in my sweet baby's arms...

Now where were you last Monday when I was lyin' in jail
You were walkin' the streets with another man
And you wouldn't even go my bail

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

[ guitar ]
Now I'm rollin' in my sweet baby's arms...
I'm rollin' in my sweet baby's arms
