Roll In My Sweet Baby's Arms

(album: Ballads From Deep Gap - 1967)

I ain't gonna work on the railroad
I ain't gonna work on the farm
I'll lay around the shack till the mail train comes back
I'm rolling in my sweet baby's arms

Rolling in my sweet baby's arms
Rolling in my sweet baby's arms
Gonna lay around the shack till the mail train comes back
I'm rolling in my sweet baby's arms

Now where was you last Friday night while I was lying in jail
Walking the streets with another man you wouldn't even go my bail
Rolling in my sweet baby's arms...

Rolling in my sweet baby's arms
Rolling in my sweet baby's arms
Gonna lay around the shack till the mail train comes back
I'm rolling in my sweet baby's arms

Sister's a beauty operator
Mamma can weave and can spin
Dad owns an interest in that old cotton mill
Ought to watch that old cotton rolls in

Rolling in my sweet baby's arms
Rolling in my sweet baby's arms
Gonna lay around the shack till the mail train comes back
I'm rolling in my sweet baby's arms
