Tom: G
G
I ain't gonna work on the railroad
D
Ain't gonna work on the farm
G
Lay around the shack
C
Till the mail train comes back
D G
And then I'll roll in my sweet baby's arms
[Chorus]
G
Roll in my sweet baby's arms
D
Roll in my sweet baby's arms
G
Lay around the shack
C
Till the mail train comes back
D G
And then I'll roll in my sweet baby's arms
[Verse]
G
Never get a letter from my own true love
D
She has quit writing to me
G C
She must think I don't love her like I used to
D G
Well now ain't that a foolish idea
[Chorus]
G
Roll in my sweet baby's arms
D
Roll in my sweet baby's arms
G
Lay around the shack
C
Till the mail train comes back
D G
And then I'll roll in my sweet baby's arms
[Verse]
G
Mommy is a ginny cake baker
D
Sister can weave and spin
G C
Daddy's got an interest in that old cotton mill
D G
Just a-watch that old money roll in
[Chorus]
G
Roll in my sweet baby's arms
D
Roll in my sweet baby's arms
G
Lay round the shack
C
Till the mail train comes back
D G
And roll in my sweet baby's arms
[Verse]
G
Where were you last Friday night
D
While I was lyin' in jail
G C
Walking the streets with another man
D G
And you wouldn't even go my bail
[Chorus]
G
Roll in my sweet baby's arms
D
Roll in my sweet baby's arms
G
Lay round the shack
C
Till the mail train comes back
D G
And roll in my sweet baby's arms
