v.1
I ain't gonna work on no railroad, I ain't gonna work on your farm
I'll lay around the shack til the mail train comes back
And roll in my sweet baby's arms

Chorus:
Rollin in my sweet baby's arms, rollin in my sweet baby's arms
I'll lay around the shack til the mail train comes back
Then I'll roll in my sweet baby's arms

Instr. Brk.

v.2
Now where were you last Saturday night, when I was a layin' in jail
Walkin' the streets with another man
Wouldn't even go my bail

Rpt. Ch.

v.3
Now mama was a beauty operator, Sister could weave and could spin
Daddy owned an interest in the ol' cotton gin
Watch that ol' money roll in

Rpt. Ch.
