Rollin' in my sweet baby's arms rollin' in my sweet baby's arms

Lay around the shack till the mail train comes back

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

[ fiddle ]

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

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

Rollin' in my sweet baby's arms...

[ banjo ]

Now where was you last Friday night while I was lyin' in jail

Walkin' the streets with another man you wouldn't even go my bail

Rollin' in my sweet baby's arms...

[ fiddle ]

I know your parent don't like me they drove me away from your door

And my life's too bluer never to wearing more

Rollin' in my sweet baby's arms...

[ banjo ]

Rollin' in my sweet baby's arms...
