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...
[ fiddle ]
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...
[ banjo - dobro ]
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...
