Roll In My Sweet Baby's Arms

Bill Monroe

A E

I ain't gonna work on the railroad - Ain't gonna work on the farm

A D

Gonna lay around the shack - Till the mail train comes back

E A

And roll in my sweet baby's arms

<CHORUS>

A E

Roll in my sweet baby's arms Roll in my sweet baby's arms

A D

Lay round the shack Till the mail train comes back

E A

And roll in my sweet baby's arms

Where were you last Friday night - While I was lyin' down in jail

Out walking the street with another man - Wouldn't even try to go my bail

<CHORUS>

Mama was a beauty operator - Sister, she could weave and spin

Daddy's got an interest in an old cotton mill - Sit and watch that money roll in

<CHORUS>

Now I know your parents don't like me - They run me away from your door

If I had my life to live over again - I wouldn't go back there any more

<CHORUS>

<CHORUS>
