(Chorus)
Roll in my sweet baby's arms,
Roll in my sweet baby's arms,
Goin' to lay 'round the shack 'til the mail train comes back,
Goin' to roll in my sweet baby's arms.
Now where were you last Sunday,
Well I was down in jail,
Walking the streets with another man,
(Got money to?) go my bail.
Chorus...
Mother's a (beauty?) operator,
Sister can weave and spin,
Daddy has a nickel in that old cotton mill,
See how the money (rolls/flows/blows?) in.
Chorus...
I know that your parents don't like me,
They sent me away from your door,
If I had my life all over again,
I wouldn't go there any more.
Chorus...
Chorus again...
Roll in my sweet baby's arms,
Roll in my sweet baby's arms,
Goin' to lay 'round the shack 'til the mail train comes back,
Goin' to roll in my sweet baby's arms.
Now where were you last Sunday,
Well I was down in jail,
Walking the streets with another man,
(Got money to?) go my bail.
Chorus...
Mother's a (beauty?) operator,
Sister can weave and spin,
Daddy has a nickel in that old cotton mill,
See how the money (rolls/flows/blows?) in.
Chorus...

They sent me away from your door,
If I had my life all over again,
I wouldn't go there any more.
