Lyrics and Chords
[1] Roll in my sweet baby's arms Roll in my sweet baby's [5] arms [1] Lay around the [17] shack 'til the [4] mail train comes back And [1] roll in my [5] sweet baby's [1] arms
I ain't gonna work on the railroad I ain't gonna work on the farm Lay around the shack 'til the mail train comes back And roll in my sweet baby's arms
Now where was you last Friday night While I was lying in jail Walking the streets with another man Wouldn't even go my bail
I know your 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
