I'm gonna lay
around the shack
till the mail train
comes back
Then I'll roll in
my sweet baby's arms
Well I ain't gonna
work on the railroad
I ain't gonna work
on the farm
Hey I'll lay around
the shack
till the mail train
comes back
and roll in
my sweet baby's arms
Well I'm rollin' in
my sweet baby's arms
rollin' in
my sweet baby's arms
Lay around the shack
till the mail train
comes back
then I'll roll in
my sweet baby's arms
Well now where was you
last Saturday night
while I was a lyin' in jail
Hey you were
walkin' the streets
with another man
wouldn't even go my bail
Well I'm rollin' in
my sweet baby's arms
rollin' in
my sweet baby's arms
Lay around the shack
till the mail train
comes back
and I'll roll in
my sweet baby's arms
Well now mama's
a beauty operator
Sister can weave
and can spin
hey now daddy owns
an interest in the old
cotton gin watch that
ol' money roll in
Well I'm rollin'
in my sweet baby's arms
rollin' in
my sweet baby's arms
Lay around the shack
till the mail train
comes back
then I'll roll in
my sweet baby's arms
Hey we'll lay
around the shack
till the mail train
comes back
then I'll roll in
my sweet baby's arms
