Lyric Roll In My Sweet Baby s Arms
Duet with Ronnie Milsap
Writer Lester Flatt
Roll in my sweet baby s arms
Roll in my sweet baby s arms
Lay around the shack til the mail comes back
And I ll roll in my sweet baby s arms
I ain t gonna work on the railroad
I ain t gonna work on the farm
Lay down the shack til the mail train comes back
And I ll roll in my sweet baby s arms
Now where were you last Friday night
While I was lying in jail
Walking the streets with another man
Wouldn t even go my bail
I know you parents don t like me
They drove me away from your door
If I had my life to live over
I d never go there any more

Roll in my sweet baby s arms
Roll in my sweet baby s arms
Lay around the shack til the mail comes back
And I ll roll in my sweet baby s arms
I ain t gonna work on the railroad
I ain t gonna work on the farm
Lay down the shack til the mail train comes back
And I ll roll in my sweet baby s arms
Now where were you last Friday night
While I was lying in jail
Walking the streets with another man
Wouldn t even go my bail
I know you parents don t like me
They drove me away from your door
If I had my life to live over
I d never go there any more
