Ain't gonna work on the railroad

Ain't gonna work on the farm

Lay around this shack

'Til the mail train gets back

And than I'll roll in my sweet baby's arms



Lets roll in my sweet baby's arms

Roll in my sweet baby's arms

Lay around this shack

'Til the mail train gets back

An' I'll roll in my sweet baby's arms



Sometimes there's a change in the ocean 

Sometimes there's a change in the see

Sometimes there's a change in my [?]

But there's never no change in me



Roll in my sweet baby's arms

Roll in my sweet baby's arms

Lay around this shack

'Til the mail train gets back

An' I'll roll in my sweet baby's arms



[banjo playing]





Mamy is [?] cake baker

Sister can wave and spin


Daddy's got an interest in that old cotton mill

Just watch all that money roll in



Lets roll in my sweet baby's arms

Roll in my sweet baby's arms

Lay around this shack

'Til the mail train gets back

An' I'll roll in my sweet baby's arms





Where were you last fridaynight

When I was laying in due

Walking the streets with an other man

And wouldn't even go my bail



Roll in my sweet baby's arms

Roll in my sweet baby's arms

Lay around this shack

'Til the mail train gets back

An' I'll roll in my sweet baby's arms



Ain't gonna work on the railroad

Ain't gonna work on the farm

Lay around this shack

'Til the mail train gets back

And than I'll roll in my sweet baby's arms
