Progression: G D7 G C D7 G I ain't gonna work on the railroad I ain't gonna work on the farm Gonna lay 'round the shack 'til the mail train comes 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 Gonna lay 'round the shack 'til the mail train comes back Then I'll roll in my sweet baby's arms. Your parents they never did like me They drove me away from your door If I had my life to live over Lord, I'd never go there anymore. Sometimes there's a change in the ocean Sometimes there's a change in the sea Sometimes there's a change in my own true love But there's never no change in me. Honey, where was you at last Friday night While I was locked up in jail Walking the streets with another man Wouldn't even go my bail.
