I'm rollin' in my sweet baby's arms rollin' in my sweet baby's arms Lay around the shack till the mail train comes back 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 As a matter of fact, honey I ain't gonna work at all Got me a woman working in the boss man's yard I'm rollin' in my sweet baby's arms Rollin' in my sweet baby's arms… My mama was a beauty operator Sister could sew and could spin Papa owned an interest in that new cotton ... Just-a watchin' all that money rollin' in. Rollin' 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 Rollin' in my sweet baby's arms...
