Lester Flatt — 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  
Lay around the shack  
          C  
Till the mail train comes back 
     D7                        G  
And roll in my sweet baby's arms 
 
Roll in my sweet baby's arms  
                         D7  
Roll in my sweet baby's arms           
 G  
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 
 
repeat #2  
  
I know your parents don't like me 
                             D7  
They turn me away from your door 
 G                C  
Had my life to live over 
 D7                      G  
Wouldn't go there any more
