Roll in my sweet baby's arms 

Roll in my sweet baby's arms 

Lay around the shack 'til the mail comes back 

And I'll roll in my sweet baby's arms 

I ain't gonna work on the railroad 

I ain't gonna work on the farm 

Lay down the shack 'til the mail train comes back 

And I'll roll in my sweet baby's arms 

Now where were you last Friday night 

While I was lying in jail 

Walking the streets with another man 

Wouldn't even go my bail 

I know you parents don't like me 

They drove me away from your door 

If I had my life to live over 

I'd never go there any more
