[ fiddle ] Well where was you last Saturday night while I was lyin' in jail Walkin' the streets with another girl you wouldn't even go my bail Rollin' in my sweet baby's arms... [ mandolin ] Mama's a beauty operator sister can wheel and can spin Daddy owns an interest in an old cotton gin just watch that all cotton roll in Rollin' in my sweet baby's arms...
