Now where were you last Friday night
E
While I was lyin' in jail

Walking the streets with another man

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

Had my life to live over
EA
Wouldn't go there any more

Roll in my sweet baby's arms
E
Roll in my sweet baby's arms
A
Lay round the shack

Till the mail train comes back

And roll in my sweet baby's arms

Roll in my sweet baby's arms

Roll in my sweet baby's arms
