Roll in my sweet babys arms
Roll in my sweet babys arms
Ill lay around this shack
til the mail tain comes back
An Ill roll in my sweet babys arms
I aint gonna work on the railroad
(you aint gonna work at all if you can help it !)
No, I aint gonna work on the farm
Ill lay around this shack
til the mail train comes back
An Ill roll in my sweet babys arms
Roll in my sweet babys arms
Roll in my sweet babys arms
Ill lay around this shack
til the mail train comes back
An Ill roll in my sweet babys arms
Tw sings:
My mama was a beauty operator
Sister could sew and could mend
My daddy owned an interest in that old sorghum mill
Just-a watchin all that money roll in
Roll in my sweet babys arms (roll in my sweet babys arms)
Roll in my sweet babys arms (roll in my sweet babys arms)
Ill lay around this shack
til the mail train comes back
An Ill roll in my sweet babys arms
Roll in my sweet babys arms (roll in my sweet babys arms)
Roll in my sweet babys arms (roll in my sweet babys arms)
Ill lay around this shack
til the mail train comes back
An Ill roll in my sweet babys arms
Roll in my sweet babys arms (roll in my sweet babys arms)
Rollin in my sweet babys arms (roll in my sweet babys arms)
Ill lay around this shack
til the mail train comes back
An Ill roll in my sweet babys arms
Roll in my sweet babys arms (roll in my sweet babys arms)
Roll in my sweet babys arms (roll in my sweet babys arms)
Ill lay around this shack
til the mail train comes back
An Ill roll in my sweet babys arms
Fades-
Roll in my sweet babys arms (roll in my sweet babys arms)
Roll in my sweet babys arms (roll in my sweet babys arms)
Ill lay around this shack
til the mail train comes back
An Ill roll in my sweet babys arms
