[Intro]
I m gonna lay around the shack
Till the mail train comes back
Then I ll roll in my sweet baby s arms.
[Verse]
Well, I ain t gonna work on the railroad
I ain t gonna work on the farm
Hey, I ll lay around the shack
Till the mail train comes back
And roll in my sweet baby s arms.
[Chorus]
Well, I m rollin in my sweet baby s arms
Rollin in my sweet baby s arms
Lay around the shack
Till the mail train comes back
Then I ll roll in my sweet baby s arms.
[Verse]
Well, now where were you last Saturday night
While I was a lyin in jail
Hey, you re walkin the streets with another man
Wouldn t even go my bail.
[Chorus]
Well, I m 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 ll roll in my sweet baby s arms.
[Instrumental]
[Verse]
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 ol money roll in.
[Chorus]
Well, I m rollin in my sweet baby s arms
Rollin in my sweet baby s arms
Lay around the shack
Till the mail train comes back
Then Ill roll in my sweet baby s arms
[Tag]
Then I ll roll in my sweet baby s arms
