Rolling In My Sweet Babys Arms

Roll In My Sweet Baby's Arms    

G
I ain't gonna work on the railroad
                                           D7
Ain't gonna work on the farm
                  G
I’m gonna lay around the shack 
               C
Till the mail train comes back
         D7                                    G
And roll in my sweet baby's arms


]CHORUS:
G
 Rollin’ in my sweet baby's arms 
                                          D7
 Rollin’ in my sweet baby's arms          
                    G
 I’m gonna lay round the shack
                C
 Till the mail train comes back
          D7                                  G
 And roll in my sweet baby's arms

Now where were you last Friday night
                                  D7
While I was lying in jail
G                                      C
Walking the streets with another man
D7                               G
Wouldn't even go my bail

Chorus
 
I know your parents don't like me
                            D7
They turn me away from your door
G              C
If I had my life to live over again
D7                    G
I wouldn't go there any more


G
Momma is a beauty operator
D7
Sister likes to sew and to spin
G                                      C
Daddy owns an interest in that old cotton mill
D7                                     G
We’re watching that old money roll in.
