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

Rollin' in my sweet baby's arms...
[ guitar ]
Well where were 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...
[ banjo ]
Mama's a beauty operator sister can wheel and can spin
Daddy owns an interest in an old cotton gin watches that all money roll in

Rollin' in my sweet baby's arms...
Lay around the shack till the mail train comes back
And I'm rollin' in my sweet baby's arms
