CHORUS: 
6    6  6  -7    -7  -5   6
Roll in my sweet ba-by’s arms. 

6    6  6  -7    -7  -8  -6 
Roll in my sweet ba-by’s arms. 

-5  -5  6   6     6   -7
Gon-na lay ‘round the shack 

-7   -7  7    7      7    5
‘til the mail train comes back, 

-5  -4   -4 -4 -7    -7 -6    6
And roll in my sweet ba-by’s arms. 

VERSE 1
