Roll in My Sweet Baby's Arms – Traditional American folk song acoustic guitar & vocal by Jack Straw

Roll in My Sweet Baby's Arms is a traditional old-time American folk song first recorded by Buster Carter & Preston Young in 1930.

A standard folk, country, and bluegrass number played by everyone who does those genres with the Monroe Brothers and Lester Flatt, Earl Scruggs & The Foggy Mountain Boys' versions making it as such. Not to mention Willie Nelson's 2002 recording on Will the Circle Be Unbroken vol. III.

My version I picked up from Ramblin' Jack Elliot with the lyrics following basically Carter & Young's.

Lyrics:
Ain't going to work on the railroad
Ain't going to work on no farm
I'm going to lay around the shack 'til the mail train gets back
Then I'll roll in my sweet baby's arms

Chorus
Roll in my sweet baby's arms
Roll in my sweet baby's arms
Lay around the shack
'til the mail train gets back
And I'll roll in my sweet baby's arms

Never get a letter from my own true love,
She has quit writing to me;
Think I don't love her like I used to,
Ain't that a foolish idea?

Mamma is ginger cake baker
Sister she can wave and spin
Daddy's got an interest in that old cotton mill
I just watch all that money roll in

I know your parents don't like me
They turn me away from your door,
If I had my life to live over
I'd never come back anymore.

Where were you last Friday night
When I was laid up in jail
You're out walking the streets with another man
You wouldn't even go my bail
