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 were you last Saturday night while I was a lyin' in jail
Hey you're 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
Then I'll roll in my sweet baby's arms

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

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 gonna lay around the shack
Till the mail train comes back
Then I'll roll in my sweet baby's arms
