Roll in my sweet baby´s arms (2x)

2.Can´t see what´s the matter with my own true love,
She done quit writing to me
she must think I don´t love her like I used to 
Ain´t that a foolish idea

3.Now where were you last Friday night
while I was locked up in jail
Walking the streets with another man
wouldn´t even try to go my bail

4.Mama´s a ginger-cake baker
Sister can weave and can spin
Dad got an interest in that old cotton mill
just watch that old money roll in
