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 rollin' in my sweet baby's arms

-CHORUS-
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

[ fiddle ]

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

-Repeat CHORUS-

[ fiddle ]

Well now mama's a beauty operator sister can wheel and
can spin
Hey now daddy owns an interest in an old cotton gin
watch that all money roll in

-Repeat CHORUS-

[ banjo ]

-Repeat CHORUS-
