Rollin' in my sweet baby's arms, rollin' in my sweet baby's arms
I'm gonna lay around the shack
'Til the mail train comes back
Rollin' in my sweet baby's arms
Hey! I ain't gonna work on no railroad; ain't gonna work down on the farm
I'm gonna lay around this shack
'Til the mail train comes back
Then I'm gonna roll it in my sweet baby's arms
Rollin' in my sweet baby's arms, rollin' in my sweet baby's arms
Gonna lay around the shack
'Til the mail train comes back
Gonna roll in my sweet baby's arms
Hey! Where were you last Saturday night
While I was laying right down in jail?
Bet you was walking the street with another man
Wouldn't even try and go my bail
And I'm a-rollin' in my sweet baby's arms, rollin' in my sweet baby's arms
Gonna lay around the shack
'Til the mail train comes back
Rollin' in my sweet baby's, rollin' in my sweet baby's, rollin' in my sweet baby's ...
Roll in my sweet baby's arms, roll in my sweet baby's arms
Lay around the shack
'Til the mail train comes back
Roll in my sweet baby's arms
Well, mama was a beauty operator
Sister could weave and spin
Daddy owns an interest in an old cotton gin
Just watch that old money roll in
Rollin' in my sweet baby's arms, rollin' in my sweet baby's arms
Lay around the shack
'Til the mail train comes back
Roll in my sweet baby's arms
Well, I ain't gonna work on no railroad; ain't gonna work out on the farm
Hey, I'm gonna lay around this shack
'Til the mail train comes back
Then I'm gonna roll in my sweet baby's arms
Rollin' in my sweet baby's arms, rollin' in my sweet baby's arms
Lay around the shack
'Til the mail train comes back
Roll in my sweet baby's arms
Lay around the shack
'Til the mail train comes back
Roll in my sweet baby's arms!
I'm gonna lay around the shack
'Til the mail train comes back
Rollin' in my sweet baby's arms
Hey! I ain't gonna work on no railroad; ain't gonna work down on the farm
I'm gonna lay around this shack
'Til the mail train comes back
Then I'm gonna roll it in my sweet baby's arms
Rollin' in my sweet baby's arms, rollin' in my sweet baby's arms
Gonna lay around the shack
