This morning, a song which suddenly popped into my head the other day. I’ve no idea what prompted it, one of those earworms which appear from nowhere and lodge in your brain for no apparent reason.
Here’s what wiki has to say about the song:
Roll in My Sweet Baby’s Arms is an American traditional song. It seems to have developed from lyrics in the cowboy song “My Lula Gal”, itself a development of bawdy British and Appalachian songs generally known as “Bang Bang Rosie” or “Bang Away Lulu.”
The Flatt & Scruggs version was first released as a single by Lester Flatt, Earl Scruggs and the Foggy Mountain Boys, on December 14, 1951. Buck Owens released his cover version “Rollin’ in My Sweet Baby’s Arms” in August 1971 as the second single from his album Ruby. The song peaked at No. 2 on the Billboard Hot Country Singles chart.

(Turns out I posted this tune before, back in 2020. You’d forgotten too, right….?)
More soon. Maybe even something I’ve not posted before.
