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

A
Roll in my sweet baby's arms 
                        E
Roll in my sweet baby's arms

Lay round the shack

Till the mail train comes back
     E                       A
And  roll in my sweet baby's arms

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

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


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

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

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