Rollin' in my sweet baby's arms rollin' in my sweet baby's arms
Lay around the shack till the mail train comes back
Well 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
Well I'm rollin' in my sweet baby's arms
Rollin' in my sweet baby's arms
[ fiddle ]
Well where was 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
[ mandolin ]
Mama's a beauty operator sister can wheel and can spin
Daddy owns an interest in an old cotton gin just watch that all cotton roll in
Rollin' in my sweet baby's arms
