I ain't gonna work on the railroad Ain't gonna work on the farm Lay a-round the shack Till the mail train comes back And roll in my sweet baby's arms Roll in my sweet baby's arms Roll in my sweet baby's arms Lay round the shack Till the mail train comes back And roll in my sweet baby's arms Now where were you last Friday night While I was lyin' in jail Walking the streets with another man Wouldn't even go my bail Roll in my sweet baby's arms Roll 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 know your parents don't like me They turn me away from your door Had my life to live over Wouldn't go there any more Roll in my sweet baby's arms Roll in my sweet baby's arms Lay round the shack Till the mail train comes back And roll in my sweet baby's arms Roll in my sweet baby's arms Roll in my sweet baby's arms Lay round the shack Till the mail train comes back And roll in my sweet baby's arms
