I ain't gonna work on the railroad I ain't gonna work on the farm
I'll lay around the shack till the mail train comes back
I'm rollin' in my sweet baby's arms

Rollin' in my sweet baby's arms rollin' in my sweet baby's arms
Lay around the shack till the mail train comes back
I'm rollin' in my sweet baby's arms

Now where was you last Friday night while I was lyin' in jail
Walkin' the streets with another man you wouldn't even go my bail

Well now mama's a beauty operator sister can wheel and can spin
Hey now daddy owns an interest in an old cotton gin watch that all money roll in
