[1] Ain't gonna work on the railroad

Ain't gonna work on the farm,
Gonna lay 'round the track
Till the mail train comes back
Then I'll roll in my sweet baby's arms

[Cho:] Rollin' in my sweet baby's arms,

Rollin' in my sweet baby's arms,
Lay round this shack
Till the mail train gets back
Rollin' in my sweet baby's arms

[2] Now where were you last Friday night

While I was layin' in the jail?
Were you walkin' the streets with another man?
You wouldn't even go my bail

[Cho:] Rollin' in my sweet baby's arms,

Rollin' in my sweet baby's arms,
Lay round this shack
Till the mail train gets back
Rollin' in my sweet baby's arms

[3] I know your parents don't like me

They turn me away from your door,
If I had my life to live over
Oh well, I'd never go back anymore

[Cho:] Rollin' in my sweet baby's arms,

Rollin' in my sweet baby's arms,
Lay round this shack
Till the mail train gets back
Rollin' in my sweet baby's arms

[Tag] I'm gonna lay around this shack til the mail train comes back

Rolling in my sweet baby's arms
