Roll in my sweet baby's arms,

Then I'll roll in my sweet baby's arms.
verse 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 use to,
Ain't that a foolish idea.
chorus
verse 3
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.

Mama's tginger cake baker;
Sister can weave and can spin;
Dad's got an interest in that old cotton mill,
Just watch that old money roll in,

verse 5
They tell me that your parents do not like me,
They have drove me away from your door,
If I had all my time to do over,
I would never go there any more.
chorus
verse 6
Now where was you last Fridaynight,
While I was locked up in jail;
Walking the streets with another man,
Wouldn't even go my bail.
chorus
