Lyrics:

Roll in my sweet baby's arms roll in my sweet baby's arms
Lay around the shack till the mail train comes back
Then I'll roll in my sweet baby's arms
( fiddle )
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
I'm rollin' in my sweet baby's arms
Rollin' in my sweet baby's arms...
( banjo )
Now where was you last Friday night while I was lyin' in jail
Walkin' the streets with another man you wouldn't even go my bail
Rollin' in my sweet baby's arms...
( fiddle )
Well, mama was a beauty operator
Sister could weave and spin
Daddy owned an interest in an ol' cotton mill
Watch that ol' money rollin' in
Rollin' in my sweet baby's arms...
( banjo )
Rollin' in my sweet baby's arms...
