[Banjo intro]
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
[Fiddle bridge]
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
[Dobro and banjo bridge]
I know your parents don't like me
They drove me away from your door
Had my life to live over
I'd never go marry no more
[Banjo bridge]
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
