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