Roll In My Sweet Baby's Arms (Monroe)
As sung by Dillard & Clark on
"Through The Morning, Through The Night"
1969


I ain't gonna work on the railroad
Ain't gonna work on the farm
Lay round the shack
Till the mail train comes back
And roll in my sweet baby's arms
Roll in my sweet baby's arms
Roll in my sweet baby's arms
Lay round the shack
Till the mail train comes back
And roll in my sweet baby's arms

Now where were you last Friday night
While I was lyin' in jail
Walking the streets with another man
Wouldn't even go my bail
Roll in my sweet baby's arms
Roll in my sweet baby's arms
Lay round the shack
Till the mail train comes back
And roll in my sweet baby's arms

I know your parents don't like me
They turn me away from your door
Had my life to live over
Wouldn't go there any more
Roll in my sweet baby's arms
Roll in my sweet baby's arms
Lay round the shack
Till the mail train comes back
And roll in my sweet baby's arms

Roll in my sweet baby's arms
Roll in my sweet baby's arms
Lay round the shack
Till the mail train comes back
And roll in my sweet baby's arms

Where were you last Friday night
While I was lyin' in jail
Walking the streets with another man
Wouldn't even go my bail

I know your parents don't like me
They turn me away from your door
Had my life to live over again
I wouldn't go there any more

Roll in my sweet baby's arms
Roll in my sweet baby's arms
Lay round the shack
Till the mail train comes back
And I roll in my sweet baby's arms

Ain't gonna work on the railroad
Ain't gonna work on the farm
Lay round the shack
Till the mail train comes back
And I roll in my sweet baby's arms

Roll in my sweet baby's arms
Roll in my sweet baby's arms
Lay round the shack
Till the mail train comes back
And I roll in my sweet baby's arms
