Roll in My Sweet Baby's Arms

trad.

1.
G
I ain't gonna work on the railroad,
D
Ain't gonna work on the farm.
G
Gonna lay 'round this shack
C
'Til the mail train comes back
D G
And roll in my sweet baby's arms!
G
Roll in my sweet baby's arms,
D
Roll in my sweet baby's arms!
G
Gonna lay 'round this shack
C
'Til the mail train comes back
D G
And roll in my sweet baby's arms!
2.
G
Where were you last Friday night
D
While I was lying in jail?
G C
Walking the street with another man,
D G
Wouldn't even go my bail!
Roll in my sweet baby's arms... 
3.
G
I know your parents don't like me
D
They turn me away from your door.
G C
If I had my life to live over
D G
I wouldn't go there no more!
Roll in my sweet baby's arms... 
4.
G
Mama was a beauty operator,
D
Sister could weave and spin.
G C
Daddy's got an interest in an old cotton mill
D G
Watch that money roll in.
Roll in my sweet baby's arms... 
5.
G
Sometimes there's a change in the ocean,
D
Sometimes there's a change in the sea.
G C
Sometimes there's a change in my own true love
D
But there'll never be a change in me.
Roll in my sweet baby's arms...
