Roll in my sweet baby's arms Roll in my sweet baby's arms Lay around the shack till the mail train comes back And roll in my sweet baby's arms I ain't gonna work on the railroad I ain't gonna work on the farm Lay around the shack till the mail train comes back And roll in my sweet baby's arms Roll in my sweet baby's arms Roll in my sweet baby's arms Lay around the shack till the mail train comes back And roll in my sweet baby's arms 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 Roll in my sweet baby's arms Roll in my sweet baby's arms Lay around the shack till the mail train comes back And roll in my sweet baby's arms I know your parents don't like me They drove me away from your door If I had my life to live over I'd never go there anymore Roll in my sweet baby's arms Roll in my sweet baby's arms Lay around the shack till the mail train comes back And roll in my sweet baby's arms Roll in my sweet baby's arms Roll in my sweet baby's arms Lay around the shack till the mail train comes back And roll in my sweet baby's arms
