(Lester Flatt)

Rollin' in my sweet baby's arms
Rollin' in my sweet baby's arms
Lay around the shack 'til the mail train comes back
Well, I'm rollin' in my sweet baby's arms.

I ain't gonna work on the railroad
I ain't gonna work on the farm
I'll lay around the shack 'til the mail train comes back
Well, I'm rollin' 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
Well, I'm rollin' in my sweet baby's arms.

Well, where was you last Saturday night
While I was lyin' in jail
Walkin' the streets with another girl
You wouldn't even go my bail.

Rollin' in my sweet baby's arms
Rollin' in my sweet baby's arms
Lay around the shack 'til the mail train comes back
Well, I'm rollin' in my sweet baby's arms.

Mama's a beauty operator
Sister can wheel and can spin
Daddy owns an interest in an old cotton gin
Just watch that ol' cotton 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
Well, I'm rollin' in my sweet baby's arms...
