Rolling in my sweet baby's arms Rolling in my sweet baby's arms I'll lay around the shack Till the mail train comes back Rolling in my sweet baby's arms 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 Rolling in my sweet baby's arms Mama was a beauty operator Her sister could sew and spin Papa owned an interest in that old cotton mill Keepin' that old money rollin' in Rolling in my sweet baby's arms Rolling in my sweet baby's arms I'll lay around the shack Till the mail train comes back Rolling in my sweet baby's arms Where were you last Saturday night While I was lying in jail? Walking the streets with some other man You wouldn't even go my bail Rolling in my sweet baby's arms Rolling in my sweet baby's arms I'll lay around the shack Till the mail train comes back Rolling in my sweet baby's arms I'll lay around the shack Till the mail train comes back Rolling in my sweet baby's arms
