I ain’t gonna work on the railroad
D7
Ain’t gonna work on the farm
G
Lay around the shack
C
Till the mail train comes back
D7 G
And roll in my sweet baby’s arms
Roll in my sweet baby’s arms
D7
Roll in my sweet baby’s arms
G
Lay round the shack
C
Till the mail train comes back
D7 G
And roll in my sweet baby’s arms
Now where were you last Friday night
D7
While I was lying in jail
G C
Walking the streets with another man
D7 G
Wouldn’t even go my bail
repeat #2
I know your parents don’t like me
D7
They turn me away from your door
G C
Had my life to live over
D7 G
Wouldn’t go there any more
repeat #2
I ain’t gonna work on the railroad
D7
Ain’t gonna work on the farm
G
Lay around the shack

Till the mail train comes back
D7 G
And roll in my sweet baby’s arms
Roll in my sweet baby’s arms
D7
Roll in my sweet baby’s arms
G
Lay round the shack
C
Till the mail train comes back
D7 G
And roll in my sweet baby’s arms
Now where were you last Friday night
