Roll In My Sweet Baby's Arms

Flatt & Scruggs

Roll in my sweet baby's arms

Roll in in my sweet baby's arms
Lay round the shack till the mail train comes back
And roll in my sweet baby's arms

I ain't gonna work on the railroad

Ain't gonna work on the farm
Lay around the shack till the mail train comes back
And roll in my sweet baby's arms...

Roll in my sweet baby’s arms…

Now where was you last Friday night

While I was lyin' in jail
Walkin' the streets with another man

Wouldn't even go my bail
Roll in my sweet baby's arms...

They tell me your parents don't like me

They drove me away from your door
Had my life to live over

Never go there anymore

Rollin' in my sweet baby's arms...

Rollin' in my sweet baby's arms...

Additional verse:

Mama’s a ginger cake baker

Sister can weave a spin

Daddy’s got an interest in that old cotton mill

Just watch how the money rolls in

Sometime’s there’s a change in the ocean

Sometime’s there’s a change in the sea

Sometime’s there’s a change in my own true love

But there’s never a change in me
