Rollin' In My Sweet Baby's Arms
(Traditional)
I ainâ"š¬â"ž¢t gonna work on the railroad
Ainâ"š¬â"ž¢t gonna work on the farm
Gonna lay round the shack
Till the mail train comes back
Roll in my sweet babyâ"š¬â"ž¢s arms.
Roll in my sweet babyâ"š¬â"ž¢s arms
Roll in my sweet babyâ"š¬â"ž¢s arms
Lay around the shack
Till the mail train comes back
Roll in my sweet babyâ"š¬â"ž¢s arms.
Where were you last Friday night
While I was laying here in jail ?
You were walking the streets with another man,
Wouldnâ"š¬â"ž¢t even go my bail.
Roll in my sweet babyâ"š¬â"ž¢s arms
Roll in my sweet babyâ"š¬â"ž¢s arms
Gonna lay around the shack
Till the mail train comes back
Roll in my sweet babyâ"š¬â"ž¢s arms.
I ainâ"š¬â"ž¢t gonna work on the railroad
I ainâ"š¬â"ž¢t gonna work on the farm
Gonna lay around the shack
Till the mail train comes back
Roll in my sweet babyâ"š¬â"ž¢s arms.
Roll in my sweet babyâ"š¬â"ž¢s arms
Roll in my sweet babyâ"š¬â"ž¢s arms
Gonna lay around the shack
Till the mail train comes back
Roll in my sweet babyâ"š¬â"ž¢s
Roll in my sweet babyâ"š¬â"ž¢s
Roll in my sweet babyâ"š¬â"ž¢s arms.
