Subject: RE: Rollin' in my sweet baby's arms
I have a book entitled "Blue Grass Songbook" by Peter Wernick (Oak Publ.) which gives the title as "Roll in my Sweet Baby's Arms" but usually I hear it as Rollin in...

The author is the ubiquitous "Traditional" and the comment below the song says:

"A blue grass standard introduced by the Monroe Brothers, this song is now performed bye everyone from parking lot pickers to Buck Owens to Leon Russell."
