(L. Flatt)
[tempo increases with each verse]
Roll in my sweet baby`s arms
Roll in my sweet baby`s arms
I`ll lay around this shack
`Til the mail tain comes back
An` I`ll roll in my sweet baby`s arms
I ain`t gonna work on the railroad
(You ain`t gonna work at all if you can help it !)
No, I ain`t gonna work on the farm
I`ll lay around this shack
`Til the mail train comes back
An` I`ll roll in my sweet baby`s arms
Roll in my sweet baby`s arms
Roll in my sweet baby`s arms
I`ll lay around this shack
`Til the mail train comes back
An` I`ll roll in my sweet baby`s 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 baby`s arms (roll in my sweet baby`s arms)
Roll in my sweet baby`s arms (roll in my sweet baby`s arms)
I`ll lay around this shack
`Til the mail train comes back
An` I`ll roll in my sweet baby`s arms
Roll in my sweet baby`s arms (roll in my sweet baby`s arms)
Roll in my sweet baby`s arms (roll in my sweet baby`s arms)
I`ll lay around this shack
`Til the mail train comes back
An` I`ll roll in my sweet baby`s arms
Roll in my sweet baby`s arms (roll in my sweet baby`s arms)
Rollin` in my sweet baby`s arms (roll in my sweet baby`s arms)
I`ll lay around this shack
`Til the mail train comes back
An` I`ll roll in my sweet baby`s arms
Roll in my sweet baby`s arms (roll in my sweet baby`s arms)
Roll in my sweet baby`s arms (roll in my sweet baby`s arms)
I`ll lay around this shack
`Til the mail train comes back
An` I`ll roll in my sweet baby`s arms
FADES-
Roll in my sweet baby`s arms (roll in my sweet baby`s arms)
Roll in my sweet baby`s arms (roll in my sweet baby`s arms)
I`ll lay around this shack
`Til the mail train comes back
An` I`ll roll in my sweet baby`s arms
