Both:
Roll in my sweet baby's arms
Roll in my sweet baby's arms
Lay around this shack
'Til mail train comes back
An' I'll roll in my sweet baby's arms
George Jones:
I ain't gonna work on the railroad
And I ain't gonna work on the farm
I'll lay around this shack
'Til the mail train comes back
An' I'll roll in my sweet baby's arms
Both:
Roll in my sweet baby's arms
Roll in my sweet baby's arms
Lay around this shack
'Til mail train comes back
An' I'll roll in my sweet baby's arms
Melba Montgomery:
My mama was a beauty operator
Sister can weave and can spin
Dad owns an interest in that old cotton gin
Just watch that old cotton roll in
Both:
Roll in my sweet baby's arms
Roll in my sweet baby's arms
Lay around this shack
'Til mail train comes back
An' I'll roll in my sweet baby's arms
George Jones:
Now, where were you last Saturday night
While I was laying in gaol?
Walkin' the streets with another man
You wouldn't even go my bail
Both:
Roll in my sweet baby's arms
Roll in my sweet baby's arms
Lay around this shack
'Til the mail train comes back
An' I'll roll in my sweet baby's arms
