ROLL IN MY SWEET BABY’S ARMS



CHORUS:

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

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

Now where were you last Sat-ur-day night?

While I was lay-ing in jail.
7     7   7     8     8   8  -9  -9 -9
Walk-ing the streets with an-oth-er man,

You would-n’t ev-en go my bail.
