Verse:

Ain’t gonna work on the railroad.
Ain’t gonna work on the farm.
Lay 'round the shack ’till the mail train comes back
Then I'll roll in my sweet baby’s arms.

 

Now where were you last Friday night.
While I was lying in jail.
Walking 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 'round the shack ’till the mail train comes back,
Then I’ll roll in my sweet baby’s arms.
