Rollin' in my sweet baby's arms

Rollin' in my sweet baby's arms

I'll lay around this shack

'Til the mail train comes back

An' I'll roll in my sweet baby's arms



I ain't gonna work on the railroad

(You ain't gonna work at all if you can help it)

So, 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



Rollin' in my sweet baby's arms

Rollin' in my sweet baby's arms

I'll lay around this shack

'Til the mail train comes back

An' I'll roll in my sweet baby's arms



My mama was a beauty operator

Sister could sew and could mend

My daddy owned an interest in that old sorghum mill

Just-a watchin' all that money roll in



Rollin' in my sweet baby's arms

Rollin' in my sweet baby's arms

I'll lay around this shack

'Til the mail train comes back

An' I'll roll in my sweet baby's arms



Rollin' in my sweet baby's arms

Rollin' in my sweet baby's arms

I'll lay around this shack

'Til the mail train comes back

An' I'll roll in my sweet baby's arms



Rollin' in my sweet baby's arms

Rollin' in my sweet baby's arms

I'll lay around this shack

'Til the mail train comes back

An' I'll roll in my sweet baby's arms
