Ain't gonna work on the railroad,
Ain't gonna work on the farm,
Lay around the shack till the mail train gets back,
And then I'll roll in my
sweet baby's arms.
Roll in my sweet baby's arms,
Roll in my sweet baby's arms,
Lay round the shack till
the milk rain come back
And I'll roll in my sweet
baby's arms
Sometimes there's a change
in the ocean
Sometimes there's a
change in the sea
Sometimes there's a change
in my old true love
But there's never no change in me
And I'll roll in my sweet baby's arms
Roll in my sweet baby's arms
Lay around the shack till
the train gets back
And I'll do it in my sweet baby's
arm
Mommy is a ginny cake baker
Sister can wave and spin
Daddy's got an interest
in that old cotton mill
Just watch that old money rollin'
Let's roll in my sweet baby's arms
Roll in my sweet baby's arms
Lay around the shack till
the train comes back
And I'll roll in my sweet
baby's arms
Where were you last Friday night
when I was layin' in jail,
walkin' the streets with another man,
and you were livin' for my bail
Rollin' my sweet baby's arms
Rollin' my sweet baby's arms
I lay around the shack
till the mail train come back
And I'm rollin' my sweet
baby's arms
Ain't gonna work on the railroad
Ain't gonna work on the farm
Lay around the shack till
the mail train get back
And then I'll roll in my sweet baby's arms
