[Chorus]
Roll in my sweet baby's arms
Roll in my sweet baby's arms
Lay around the shack 'til the mail train comes back
And roll in my sweet baby's arms

[Verse 1]
I ain't gonna work on the railroad
I ain't gonna work on the farm
Lay around the shack 'til the mail train comes back
And roll in my sweet baby's arms

[Chorus]
Roll in my sweet baby's arms
Roll in my sweet baby's arms
Lay around the shack 'til the mail train comes back
And roll in my sweet baby's arms

[Verse 2]
Now where was you last Friday night
While I was lyin' in jail?
Walkin' the streets with another man
Wouldn't even go my bail

[Chorus]
Roll in my sweet baby's arms
Roll in my sweet baby's arms
Lay around the shack 'til the mail train comes back
And roll in my sweet baby's arms
[Verse 3]
I know your parents don't like me
They drove me away from your door
Had my life to live over
I'd never go there anymore

[Chorus]
Roll in my sweet baby's arms
Roll in my sweet baby's arms
Lay around the shack 'til the mail train comes back
And roll in my sweet baby's arms

[Outro]
Roll in my sweet baby's arms
Roll in my sweet baby's arms
Lay around the shack 'til the mail train comes back
And roll in my sweet baby's arms
