Roll In My Sweet Baby's Arms

(album: Everybody's Got A Family...Meet Mine - 1979)

I'm rolling in my sweet baby's arms rolling in my sweet baby's arms
Lay around the shack till the mail train comes back
I'm rolling 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 rolling in my sweet baby's arms
Rolling 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 watching all that money rolling in
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...
