I ain't gonna work on the railroad I ain't gonna work on the farm I'll lay around the shack till the mail train comes back I'm rollin' in my sweet baby's arms -CHORUS- Rollin' in my sweet baby's arms rollin' in my sweet baby's arms Lay around the shack till the mail train comes back I'm rollin' in my sweet baby's arms [ fiddle ] Now where was you last Friday night while I was lyin' in jail Walkin' the streets with another man you wouldn't even go my bail -Repeat CHORUS- [ fiddle ] Well now mama's a beauty operator sister can wheel and can spin Hey now daddy owns an interest in an old cotton gin watch that all money roll in -Repeat CHORUS- [ banjo ] -Repeat CHORUS-
