Just-a watchin' all that money roll in
My daddy owned an interest in that old sorghum mill
'Til the mail train comes back
I ain't gonna work on the railroad
So, I ain't gonna work on the farm
Rollin' in my sweet baby's arms
I'll lay around this shack
'Til the mail train comes back
'Til the mail train comes back
An' I'll roll in my sweet baby's arms
An' I'll roll in my sweet baby's arms
I'll lay around this shack
An' I'll roll in my sweet baby's arms
An' I'll roll in my sweet baby's arms
Rollin' in my sweet baby's arms
An' I'll roll in my sweet baby's arms
Sister could sew and could mend
'Til the mail train comes back
My mama was a beauty operator
Rollin' in my sweet baby's arms
An' I'll roll in my sweet baby's arms
'Til the mail train comes back
I'll lay around this shack
I'll lay around this shack
(You ain't gonna work at all if you can help it)
'Til the mail train comes back
I'll lay around this shack
Rollin' in my sweet baby's arms
Rollin' in my sweet baby's arms
Rollin' in my sweet baby's arms
Rollin' in my sweet baby's arms
Rollin' in my sweet baby's arms
I'll lay around this shack
