Roll in my sweet baby's arms Roll 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 No, 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 Roll in my sweet baby's arms Roll 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 Well, where were you last Saturday night? While I was pinin' in the jail You walked in the streets with another man And wouldn't even go my bail Roll in my sweet baby's arms Roll 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 know that your daddy don't like me He drives me away from your door And if I had to do it once again I'd never go there anymore Roll in my sweet baby's arms Roll 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
