Lyrics
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 moreDemo Videos

About This Song
Roll In My Sweet Baby's Arms is a traditional tune popularized by Flatt & Scruggs in the 1950s, though it dates back much earlier to Appalachian folk music. It's a rollicking, up-tempo crowd favorite that's been recorded by countless bluegrass artists and remains a jam session staple.
