I roll in my sweet baby's arms
|
I roll in my sweet baby's arms
|
I lay around the shack till the mail train comes back
|
And I roll in my sweet baby's ...
|
|
Well, I ain't gonna work on no railroad, baby
|
Ain't gonna work on no farm
|
I'm gonna lay around the shack till the mail train comes back
|
And I'm rollin' in my sweet baby's arms.
|
|
I roll in my sweet baby's arms
|
Roll in my sweet baby's arms
|
I come lay around the shack till the mail train comes back
|
And I'm rollin' in my sweet baby's arms.
|
|
My mama was a beauty operator
|
Sister could sew and could spin
|
My daddy owned an interest in that new cotton ...
|
Just-a watchin' all that money rollin' in.
|
|
I roll in my sweet baby's arms
|
Roll in my sweet baby's arms
|
I come lay around the shack till the mail train comes back
|
And I'm rollin' in my sweet baby's arms.
|
|
Oh, I know that your parents they don't like me
|
They roll me away from your door
|
Help me find my life to live over
|
And I never go there no more.
|
|
I roll in my sweet baby's arms
|
Roll in my sweet baby's arms
|
I come lay around the shack till the mail train comes back
|
And I'm rollin' in my sweet baby's arms.
|
|
Well now, where were you last Saturday night, baby?
|
While I was lyin' around down in jail?
|
[?] walking with another man
|
He wouldn't even go my bail, so now ...
|
|
I roll in my sweet baby's arms
|
Roll in my sweet baby's arms
|
I come lay around the shack till the mail train comes back
|
And I'm rollin' in my sweet baby's arms.
|
|
I roll in my sweet baby's arms
|
Roll in my sweet baby's arms
|
I come lay around the shack till the mail train comes back
|
And I'm rollin' in my sweet baby, rollin' in my sweet baby, rollin' in my sweet babys arms.
